I am 31 years old with no excessive alcohol (weekend drinking 6-7 standard drinks) consumption but overweight . 178 cm - 108 kgs
Everything started with a strong throat pain and lots of sweat with mild fever at night .... I went to the doctor and gave me some antibiotics for .... When the antibiotics were completed the throat pain was gone but the sweat and low-mild fever continued which made go back to my GP and this time check my chest and said i could have a chest infection and gave me stronger antibiotics ... When i started with this new medication i started noticing shortness of breath ... Not at all times but time to time i felt like catching an extra breath .
This time i was very worried and went to the Hospital which they did a blood test , cardiac test , oxygen test , saliva test and xray on my chest to see what was going on with my shortness of breath and apparently they found one of my diaphragms was elevated . They are currently scheduling me for a lung function test .
During this time I start feeling weakness in my legs and arms , my stools to have clay colour at times ... not all the time and the sweat also continues if i am in a room or area which is slightly warm . I dont feel like myself and start worrying myself a lot and start doing some reading and found out lots of this conditions are due to Liver problems and also liver cancer. I havent notice any yellowing on my eyes or skin , I havent lost my appetite and also maintaining my weight ... I also havent noticed any pain on my abdominal area ... Interesting enough all this symptons started when I decided to stop drinking and didnt drink for 2 months.
I have received my blood test and my doctor has said I have a liver condition but we wouldn't be able to say what it is till we receive the ultrasound results.
The blood test result was showing ;
Sodium 140 mmol
Pot 4.2 mmol
Cholor. 104 mmol
Bicab. 26 mmol
Urea 4.4 mmol
Creat 62 umol
eGFR >90 ml
Urate 0.41 mmol
Gluc 6.3 mmol
Calcium 2.38 mmol
Phos 0.91 mmol
T.Prot 81 g/L
Albumin 42 g/L
Alk.Phos 74/UL
Bili. 22 umol
GGTP 132 U/L (Abnormal)
AST 105 U/L (Abnormal)
ALT 226 U/L (Abnormal)
LD 475 U/L (Abnormal)
Comments ;
Consistent with active hepatocellular damage. Elevated LD may be of hapatic , erythropoietic or tissue origin.
With this results the doctor thinks is unlikely to be cancer but could be hepatitis , gall stones or even a fatty liver... I just need a second opinion ... I have an 8 mths old baby and I am getting lots of stress over all this and the earliest day i can get an ultrasound is on 2 weeks time . Please any help would be so appreciated. My mother passed away last year from gall bladder cancer and seen the whole process is even making more anxious now.
Thanks a lot !!
