Liver or Kidney Problem??

@tonto999, I can understand your confusion and concern. My liver disease was discovered when my PCP observed that my liver function labs were out of the normal range during my annual visit. He ordered repeat labs for me, just like your doctor has done for you. He also told me to take no over-counter meds, or have no alcohol, and he double checked the BP and cholesterol med that he had prescribed for me. To my disappointment and fear, my labs did not change. So he referred me to a gastroenterologist (GI) for further investigation. I remember that he began to order labs specific to test for a cause of my elevated enzymes. I also had ultra sound and biopsy.
There are many issues that can result in elevated liver enzymes. I am happy that you are under the eye of an observant doctor.
I want to encourage you to begin a list of all your questions, so that you can have a meaningful consult with the doctor.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your time. I guess I’ll have to wait and see. I will post again once I have new information.

Hi Rosemary,
I got news from my Dr..She’s sending me to a gastro Dr for more tests. What happened when you went to the gastro Dr? What was the outcome from your gastro tests? Dr suggested taking iron supplements for low iron. She’ll see me back after gastro appointment.
Thanks again.
