Very worried about initial blood test result for ALP
Hi, I have just heard from my Dr that I have elevated ALP levels in a blood test I had a couple of months ago to check my medication could still be prescribed (blood thinner & beta blocker). She asked me to have another test in a months time which was this week. I have phoned for results & have been

Hi all, this is my first post. My Hubby went to gp with chest pain and she decided to do a full blood test. Everything was ok except all his liver markers were low. She sent us to hospital for further tests and liver levels are still low. He has a liver ultrasound booked for Monday. Dr said she hasn

Hello, I need some advise. I have alcohol related liver disease,. I was told on Feb 2019. I was told be the liver nurse if I stopped drinking and started again my liver wouldn't take it. Stupidly a few weeks later I went for a drink after a split with my partner. Not realising the consequences. Then

Resolved NAFLD / NASH in 6 months!

Referred to a consultant and further tests showed elevated transaminases with u/s showing severe steatosis. Fibroscan commissioned by ‘senior Hepatologist’. Results

As you lovely people were so kind reassuring and helpful during my recent meltdown, I thought I’d let you know what happened today. I had an echo and then an ecg after which I was seen by a very nice cardiologist for results. The high BNP is due to persistent AF, my heart remarkably in good shape with

One year on
Thought I’d give a little update on my ARLD journey. After 1 year of initial Fibroscan results which were CAP score 316 and 28.9 kpa elastography score, which shattered my world as it wasn’t expected. My latest results after abstaining from alcohol, which I may say has been oh-so difficult after

Fibroscan score 19.5. Awaiting appointment with consultant

Eating small meals and generally more conversational. I saw my GP and he stated that my husband is still

Fatty Liver and Low White Blood Cell Count
Had a Gallstone attack back in 2007 that led to my Gallbladder being removed. 2 months prior my blood tests showed elevated GGT (79 and 97) and Bilirubin (26 and 23). All other LFTs normal. 2008 I was then diagnosed with Fatty Liver. GGT 112, Bilirubin 22 and ALT now elevated to 52. It’s been a struggle

How long for FIB4 results?
I had my most recent bloods on 31 October. All function tests came back within normal range, though Gamma GT high. I am still waiting on results of the FIB-4 test. Does it always take ages to come back from the lab? Without the FIB 4 result I have no idea what/if any fibrosis is present in my liver

Abuse of alcohol and liver concerns
Hello everyone! Hope I find you well. Long story short I've used to love drinking and I've always had tolerance towards it so I was consuming large amounts during my early 20's. Now Im 27y male and for the past two years I was literally addicted to alcohol and consumed alcohol almost everyday. At first
