No I have only had Ferritin checked once before and I remember it was over range but GP not concerned. I was told years ago I have fatty liver/ non alcoholic type when I had an ultrasound but GP not concerned. Had a liver test recently done privately and GGT raised. Medichecks suggested I had another liver test but it wasn’t clear which one. I appreciate your comments 👍
Fatty liver has become increasingly common in developed nations, and is increasing rapidly. GP's have a tendency to ignore the diagnosis of fatty liver because the majority don't know what to do to improve the condition, they don't understand the most common cause.
NHS GP Dr David Unwin treats many of his patients with a low carb diet and found out by accident that this usually pretty quickly reversed fatty liver disease in many of them. Dr Unwin has mentioned in interviews that he used to ignore it because he didn't know what the cause was, and used to accuse his patients of being secret alcoholics, but he now knows better!
Raised GGT and ferritin can both be signs of raised inflammation. CRP is also an inflammation marker and although yours is technically within range it is still above optimal. In your case the inflammation could well be from your fatty liver.
If you try changing to low carb you might well find all of these improve, definitely worth a try in my opinion.
Hi Slowdragon I don’t take any vitamin supplements only calcium post parathyroidectomy. I have tried gluten free for several months but it did not help.
The low carb diet sounds like a good option. I would be cautious about a dairy free diet due to your need for calcium supplements. Although I don't have type two diabetes, I am technically overweight. A low carb diet brought my diabetes marker down from the top of the range into a good place so it does make a difference.
Some good research suggests that taking K2-MK7 supplements can prevent calcium from lining arteries and drive it into bone which is where it needs to be. Fermented foods contain K2 and organic dairy foods produced from grass fed cattle.
