Liver Function Tests - results got me worried
Firstly, apologies for the recent increase in topics. My HA is high at the moment but I have made an appointment for CBT next month.
I had a blood test recently (while I was ill with what seemed to be a sinus infection) and ran through the results with my GP today.
The abnormal results are as follows:
Serum ALT : 98 (0-55)
Serum ALP alkaline phosphate: 212 (30-130)
Google search comes up with all sorts including cancer, bone issues etc.
GP told me not to worry too much and come in for a repeat test in two weeks’ time.
But I keep thinking how the results are almost twice the upper limit and something definitely is wrong. I’m 25 and never smoked or drunk alcohol so it is worrying me a lot.

I’m so worried, how can my liver tests be that abnormal?

Good going! That's a step in the right direction :yesyes:
Your doctor said not to be concerned and they'll retest and besides, the question is for a medical professional, not an anxiety board. Besides, you has some kind of infection when you had your blood work done so.....I had blood test readings that were off (high) and when retested, they had come down. It happens. Of course, you Googled and got yourself in a tizzy so what can be said? :shrug:
