Hi
would anyone have experience of raised ALT of 166 iU/l (normal 8-41). Is that only slightly raised, GP texted that bloods were normal. Thanks 🙏

Anything under 5 times the upper limit of normal is considered mild elevation. It’s reasonable to ask your doctor about it, in case they missed it, but mild elevation is often inconsequential.

Thanks 🙏 With a history of ulcerative colitis I’m wondering.. https://www.gloshospitals.nhs....tion-raised-alt-lft/
- anything over 150 needs to be repeated. And if continues to be elevated over 100 needs GI.
I haven’t drank any alcohol, try eating super healthy and hopefully it will go down 🤞🏼

I heard anything 3X the limit is something to worry about. Considering we do not know your age, no one can tell you if that is normal or not besides a doctor. A lot of things have risk factors behind it. Gastros are pretty good at knowing what to do when it comes to the liver. I would book an appointment ASAP.
My Alkaline phosphate is 142 and they are sending me back to my pcp to go from there. Since it isn’t related to GI issues. I am confused now on what to do and who I should see about it. Any help would be great also. Thanks

Gastros handle the liver too. Either that or hepatologist. A lot of people see gastros for just for liver problems
I thought so. I don’t understand why they are sending me to my PCP. Thank you

They do that bull crap all of the time, they are just stupid lol.
When I was having asthma problems they kept trying to send me to a pcp instead of a lung doctor. The medical system is stupid lol.
And anytime, hope everything works out
