ALP 516, AST 97, ALT 217. Is my liver basically gone?

Just got these results overnight through my doctor's online patient portal. Haven't talked to him yet. Would these type of numbers warrant imaging?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Liver Diseases Support Group.

@jtday87, and others... Your physician will probably send you for follow-up blood-work with some additional tests to verify the results. Also, depending on your age, other illnesses and health conditions, he may schedule some imaging. A lot depends on your condition and status...

After I receive the portal information from tests I usually go to Perplexity, I prefer this site rather than Goodgle but that's a personal choice... I go to Perplexity and begin asking questions. It responds immediately and clearly to my questions with no sponsored links or additional information I don't want to know.

I learn what I can so I can be well informed when I do chat with my physician. I want knowledge. I am my own advocate after decades of working with poor medical systems and fighting to be heard. At

oops... At Mayo Clinic Florida, I trust my physicians and staff to be open, honest, knowledgeable and caring and they indeed work with me to understand and address my health as a team.

Blessings, Elizabeth

My doctor's assistant called. Scheduled some followup blood work a week from now. Also said someone else would be calling me about setting up an ultrasound of my abdomen.
