Hello everyone
I have been feeling off colour for some time now. I had my gallbladder removed two and a half years ago and there was a question if it was inflamed or a cancer polyp. They took three samples and said it was inflamed.
At the time I was so worried about the possible cancer but also a possible bile duct cancer with the symptoms I had.
i have had a lot of stress but recently the last few months I have suffered severe bloating which if I don’t eat is better and goes to a reasonable level. I have also felt I couldn’t swallow my food as my stomach felt very full with burping a big thing. It felt like a reflux maybe. I did feel I was full of wind and maybe it was that I wasn’t digesting my food and the bloating was causing this. Tummy rumbles as well.
this week I felt really poorly on Sunday and thought it was a kidney infection. Monday I went to my GP and had a call today to say all my liver results are up.
serum alanine amino transfer level is 50 the max where the lab who did the test is 33
serum alkaline phosphate 174 the limit is 130
serum gamma glutamic is a whopping 88 and should only be 42.
could anyone give me some information about these thank you.
Hi Sid31
I am sorry to hear that you have felt off colour for some time and are worried about some raised liver blood results.
We are not medically trained on here and can only really talk from our own experiences however if you give the Support Line a call one of the nurses would be able to explain the results and hopefully answer your question more fully. The Support Line is available from 8am-8pm daily and they are lovely on there.
I hope that you can get some clarification and reassurance soon.
Jane
