Liver function test

[mitchell66]

Hi, does any know why my doctor would order a liver function test without mentioning it to me or being asked by me??

[mitchell66]

just reading about calcium, is it something to do with that? I am vit D deficient

It's a fairly routine test, vit d and liver function are connected.

Thanks, very interesting re. connection between vit d and liver function. When I had hepititis I felt exhausted so low vit d. could cause tiredness which is not neccesarily thyroid related.

Vit d deficiency most definitely does cause tiredness along with a host of other symptoms.

Any decent Gp should check liver function when any medication prescribed long term and in fact some medications are recommended test before use and then 3 months after starting using.

think i've worked it out, to calculate corrected calcium you need to know the bilirubin level. Thought she was trying to see if I was an alcoholic lol, paranoid or what???
