Please can someone help me interpret my blood test results as the doctors just text me to say “your liver enzyme is raised you’ll need to retake the test in two weeks” with no context about whether or not this is a worry and with no information about my overall picture. So here I am, desperately looking for help as I am wracked with worry.
Background - I’m a 33f 5”7 and around 220lbs. BMI is obese. Had lost a load of weight before I had my little boy but unfortunately have gained it again. A few years ago prior to weight loss was told I had a slightly fatty liver. Fast forward to a few months ago I’ve started to get really full quickly and really bad heartburn and indigestion. I’ve started to feel very sick in the mornings and still remain nauseous all day (definitely not pregnant). I have a family history of pancreatic cancer and it is something I am worried about so went to the doctors and asked for blood tests. Went yesterday and then the results came back today with a raised ALT level, 99 - which is double what it should be.
I called my surgery to ask to speak to the doctor but they said I’d have to call back on Monday and put an e consult in online. Now I face a whole weekend of worry.
would appreciate hearing from anyone else who has been through something similar or anyone medical who could take a stab at interpreting these results and my symptoms and what this could be. Doctor’s reaction feels incredibly blasé and rushed to me, especially given the symptoms and concerns I have?
thank you 🙏
