My mum has been an alcoholic for years but her drinking has increased in the last couple of years. She’s been hospitalised twice with low potassium but starts drinking as soon as she goes home. She’s cut down a lot but is still drinking a bottle of wine a day, maybe a bit less.
She had some blood test results today but didn’t understand them, I’ve just called the GP receptionist and she told me her levels were 2200 (I presume that’s enzymes but she wasn’t sure). Her Bilruben is 53. They mentioned Alkaline is 760.
She will be going for a scan soon but I wondered if anyone knew how high these results were compared to normal? I’ve looked online and I can’t seem to get answers. Obviously I’ll take her to the scan and hopefully speak to her doctor but in the meantime I’m lost.
It’s heartbreaking and so frustrating watching someone go through this. All the years I’ve begged her to get help and nothings changed.
