As a result my GP has referred me for various urgent tests for which I am waiting appointments. On a second blood test taken 24 hours later the ALT reading has dropped to 485. I am a long

NAFLD vs ARLD prognosis & ELF Score of 10.2 AST:ALT Ratio of 0.7
Hello all. I am absolutely terrified at the moment. I had a routine LFT carried out for insurance purposes & it came back as abnormal. I contacted my GP who carried out their own LFT. My total bilirubin was found to be 42 umol/L & my ALT 72 iu/L. My GP ordered more tests & I have just had the results

How worried should I be?
My little grandson and granddaughter have both tested positive this afternoon for covid. I have been with them today. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis 2 years ago to this month. I was in hospital for 6 weeks and nearly died. I haven't drank alcohol since then. Covid is going around our area like wildfire

What next??!!!

I'm confused last year I was told that without a transplant I wouldn't be here this Xmas but I am. At the same time I told about

When do AST/ALT ratios matter?
I received two blood tests this year that display my ALT as 59 and AST as 31, with a ratio of approx 0.5. Do these values hold significance, given my ALT is only slightly out of the normal ceiling? From what I have read, this is indicative of viral hepatitis. The thing is, my doctor didn't recommend

Vitamin D in winter months
Vitamin D2 is ingested from a healthy balanced diet and can be derived from everyday foods such as: Egg yolks and fatty fish like; trout, mackerel, salmon or tuna, as well as cod liver oil, or fortified milk, juices and cereals. Vitamin D3 however, is most efficiently produced when our skin is exposed
