Hi There

Hope you are ok

If it was anything serious then you wouldn't be waiting around for 3 weeks. Blood tests can sometimes show inaccurate readings, well when I say sometimes it happens alot! It's happened to me so many times and it has caused me so much anxiety and in the end it turned out to be absolutley nothing! So I was a complete wreck for no reason. Your GP probably didnt want to worry you knowing that the bloods would correct themselves in about 3 weeks. Let us know how you get on. Remember medications and if you had any alcohol recently can cause this result. Take Care xxx

It is entirely normal if you have a iffy liver function test for it to be repeated in three months to see if it has gone back to normal as huge number of harmless things can affect your liver function test. If you had had alcohol in the 24 hrs before test or taken anti fungal meds or had water infection etc etc and they nearly always return to normal. YOur Dr can also tell from the results if its something that needs looking into straight away or if its probably just a blip and will go back to normal.

I worked for a Drs so know about this.

your only making your self anxious by worrying, it doesn't solve or fix anything, it's like rocking in a rooking chair, your doing something, burning energy but it gets you nowhere but tired.
hope your test results come back good this time :)
