Fatty liver, raised liver function tests

51 replies

I have just had repeat blood tests for liver function tests as the levels were raised. GP was going to send me for ultrasound and a liver screen but I remembered having been told I had a fatty
liver a while ago - she checked and turned out was 2012 when previous ultrasound and tests were done. They found I had a fatty liver but could give no reason for it and no advice on what to do.

I have low to normal blood pressure, a good diet (coeliac) but ongoing fatigue, sallow skin, pale stool.

Anyone any idea what is going on or what I should be doing to feel better? GP was reluctant to do any more tests as seems they already been done, albeit 7 years ago!

Thanks for asking! I feel a bit better but likely due to getting out in sun, some work pressure easing and I have cleaned up my diet but excluding dairy, alcohol and legumes (peanut, hummus/chickpea) as seemed to be having quite big reaction to those.

I haven't seen GP and not heard from consultant but I think it took months for previous letter to come through so may still hear from him.

I'm not quite sure what else to do... I have been trying to make sure I eat well, particularly water melon, strawberries, bananas and salt. I also hope to increase exercise gradually over next few weeks.

I do still have pins and needles and fatigue as well as high anxiety so likely something still going on, not sure if I am making any difference with diet changes or if I was having some kind of flare that has now subsided. I was quite stressed with extra work to be done for a deadline and I do not react well to stress so that is also,likely to have been a factor.

Any thoughts?
