Vist to RGAL - Gastroenterology Specialists
After looking at my last blood panel test, my Liver was sending crazy signals! The results on the Hepatic Panels, to review:
AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) are sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of diseases. But it must be emphasized that higher-than-normal levels of these liver enzymes should not be automatically equated with liver disease. They may mean liver problems or they may not. For example, elevations of these enzymes can occur with muscle damage. The interpretation of elevated AST and ALT levels depends upon the entire clinical evaluation of an individual, and so it is best done by physicians experienced in evaluating liver disease and muscle disease.
That take me to a liver specialist! Here are her concerns:
AST & ALT Levels
Hepatitis
Fatty Liver Disease
Spleen size slightly enlarged?
Here is the plan DIET - lose 10-15 pounds & see if that makes a difference! See her in 4 months!
If things do not change we will go for a liver biopsy!
Let the diet begin!!
