A related discussion,
liver function was started.
Guy
I have exactly the same problem, I am from UK and failed with readings not too far from yours. Can you let me know how you progressed with the DVLA, i.e. did you appeal against the test and if so what did they say. Or are you having to wait for the 6 mnonths before re-applying (which is a real pain in the arse)
My readings were originally
GAMMA 226
AST 84
MCV 93
I then had a re-test once I realised I had failed and my readings were :-
GAMMA 131
AST 46
MCV 90.5
I then wrote to the DVLA and explained that I had some extenuating circumstances, friend had committed suicide 1 week before test and drinking had increased.
I am currently still awaiting a decision from them. It should be this week.
I will let you know how I got on.
I am taking Milt Thistle also as this is supposed to help the rebuilding of the cells.
Cheers
Sean
many thanks to replying to my question on 31 01 02 any more information on liver function test and elevated enzymes
guy
Your liver function tests can be elevated for any number of reasons. At least your numbers are not to high that is good. Both alcohol and drugs are metabolized by the liver so both will put additonal stress on the liver. I am also experiencing elevated liver tests, rest and diet seem to be the best thing for me. I am on a fat free and low protein diet and rest whenever I feel like it. By not taxing the liver it can resolve its own problems, Good Luck!
