@phylliserin I went almost a year and a half before my cirrhosis was diagnosed despite having HE *hepatic encephalopathy) episodes, decreasing platelet counts, shaking hands, and other symptoms but I was never jaundiced and my AST and ALT levels were not hugely out of range, just slightly.
Before cirrhosis occurs there are other stages of liver problems that are reversible. Hopefully if she does have liver problems, and with those AST and ALT results it sounds as if she might, she will get diagnosed and on track to regain her health. I am still not understanding that she can be turned away for lack of money. I know that can be true for transplants, they are so costly as are the drugs afterward, but to get diagnosed? That just doesn't seem right, particularly since if she gets a diagnosis she could possibly be treated before things get worse. Medicaid will not pay?
