Blood test

Does anyone have any idea what these blood tests mean? I tried to look for answers on general health but no luck.

I have elevated liver enzymes and slightly low phosphate levels. I have also been taking folic acid as that was low also.

I've tried Google and it says fatty liver to cancer and I'm absolutely terrified.

That's what your GP is for.

To tell you what they mean

Should also add I got referred for blood test due to having pain in my left shoulder blade that goes down my arm and under my breast.

My GP told me nothing and ordered more tests in 3 weeks. Also don't need your smart arse comment

could be literally anything or literally nothing. Blood results need to be interpreted in the context of your medical history/old tests if there are any/medications/what the requester was thinking of when the did the request. Hope the GP's able to reassure.

People on the internet aren't going to interpret blood tests.

Or if they do, you shouldn't take their advice.

Thanks for your comment, this is my first blood test since pregnancy 4 years ago. GP just wanted to order them as sent me for xray regarding my shoulder but xray on shoulder and wrist showed nothing.

I’ve had up and down liver results for years. Sometimes alarmingly high. It was
significantly Worse than my father who is very heavy daily drinker. Had many scans which show nothing. Had a consultant advise a biopsy was required. Other opinions have just said the liver is like a washing machine and levels change depending on many factors such as diet, alcohol, meds, stress, infection.
as someone said, it may be something, it may be absolutely nothing
good luck
