I do not drink or take any kind of drugs of any kind... I am pretty healthy and in great shape for my age but after a regular annual checkup, my ALP was 239... So because I have been nauseous and feeling a persistent gnawing throb in my upper right quadrant, I was sent to take a CT Scan. After receiving a copy, I learned that my liver has mild hemo... 18cm... I don t understand why???
HelloYour findings suggest raised alkaline phosphatase(ALP). Increased ALP may indicate liver injury, bone pathology etc. You need proper evaluation. Your condition need proper clinical evaluation and further tests. It may be due to liver pathology as liver size is also increased. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, lipid profile, renal function test, complete liver function test. Enlarged liver may be due to many causes like hepatitis, fatty liver etc. Underlying cause should be searched and need to be treated. Take Care Chat Doctor.
