Alt levels increasing, cancer?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I'm 26 female. Overweight.
My symptoms all started with a change in my bowel habit including blood and pain in lower abdomen then pain in my liver area pale stools nausea acid reflux booked for colonoscopy and upper Abdominal ultrasound
Had a feacal occult test negative 30.12.16
blood test done 25.05.16 shows ALT 49u/l AST 32u/l GGT 43u/l ESR 39 ferritin 178 iron 7.1 haemoglobin 144
blood test done 28.12.16 ALT 68u/l AST 39u/l GGT 47u/l ESR 33 ferritin 161 iron 9.9 haemoglobin 147
it says consistent with mild hepatocellular damage.
Is this a strong indication of cancer or could it be caused by fatty liver? Anything less sinister?
I'm so worried I'm a mother on a little girl I can't stand the thought that I won't be here for her

I got my ultrasound results back everything is normal except fatty liver, I'm super relieved that nothing has come up but still at square one to figure out why I'm in pain. But very happy with my results

Yes thank you I'm happy about my results, the doctor said to take omega 3 and to drop a few kilos. Unfortunately I'm still having issues with my bowel (bleeding & a few other things) it seems my abdominal pain seems to be related to that.
