I was at our emergency dept with another health matter having a thorough check up and according to them my LFTs were good and my liver felt ok.
My GP the following day said my Alt was 140ul (everything else good) when he tested me a few days earlier and my liver was very slightly enlarged. I have to repeat the LFT next week.
So I don't know who to believe and I don't know what elevated ALT means..Is 140ul very high?
Then the notes given to me from the emergency dept show that in 2008 a CT scan on my aorta incidently showed infiltrative fatty liver disease.
No one told me and now I'm running scared....I keep thinking about cirrhosis. Then I get depressed..My 1st wife died of nonalcoholic hepatitis.
The booze stopped (again) 9 days ago.
I have made an appointment with my hospitals Alcohol and Drug Dependeny unit.
