My son had a B.U.N. test.  He is 29 years old, other than being overweight he is in good health.  Due to the weight he occassionally says his knee hurts (he bends up and down and has to use his knees in his work)  His test on the liver came back slightly elevated and the doctor wants to see him again in one month.  She said he may have hep c.  He does have high blood pressure and had just been given medication to take for his blood pressure and slight anxiety problems (takes this after me).  This came as a shock to myself and him.  Are we jumping conclusions too quickly?
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... Noted here liver enzymes are elevated. It does only means hepatitis c until history suggestive.... So here rule out following diagnosis......-gall stone-fatty liver-viral hepatitis -carrier of HBSagFor that do following investigation....-USG -viral marker by Elisa needed HIDE scan... If no liver causes present then rule out cardiac or muscular problem as they can elevate liver enzymes.... If abdominal pain present with diarrhea then celiac disease ruled out by antibody testing.... Hope your query solved. You can discuss this with your doc.... Take care.... Chat Doctor.
