Yes, I just had lab work done, after a couple of neighborhood events, consuming 2 bottles of wine in 3 days, prior to the lab work. 3 months ago the ALP was115 units/L ALT 44 units/L AST 33 units/L My primary doctor wants me to get a liver scan. She recommended this before when I was on pain medication for an auto accident. I suggested we wait a few weeks and retest and the levels were much better when I was off the medication. Should I still have a liver scan? I have polycythemia vera and have been in maintenance for years. Should I go back to a hematologist instead of having a primary doctor evaluate my blood work. I had a wonderful hematologist, but he passed away several years ago.
Hello should definitely go for ultrasound scan. Your findings suggest ALT towards upper limit. ALP and AST values are acceptable. It may be due to wine intake. You should try to quit it completely. You may also need routine hologram, random blood sugar and complete liver function test. You should go for exercise regularly and take the lot of fibers in your diet. You may need regular checkup. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
