Liver Functions after Whipple

Posted by whipple2232 @whipple2232, Aug 3, 2024

Has anyone experienced high liver function levels (ALP and ALT) months after Whipple surgery? Mine have always been normal prior to surgery, but ten months out, they have become very elevated. I’ll be meeting with my oncologist on Tuesday.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

Hello! I ran into your post while doing a search on this same issue. I had my Whipple June, 2024 and since post Whipple my liver values (AST, ALT, and Bilirubin) have been elevated. I asked my Dr. Oncologist and she doesn't seem concerned at this point as she said these values are "slightly" elevated (AST 46 / ALT 60 / Bilirubin 1.4). How did it go with your MRI? Did your Dr. confirmed the the cause of your elevated liver values was a stricture? What has been the guidance from your Dr. on this long term? Thank you!
