I was recently diagnosed with H. Pylori. I went on two different treatments in order to eradicate the disease. Unfortunately, after the treatment I still had the following symptoms: lightheadedness, shortness of breath, warm facial flush, and rumbling stomach. I took a blood test and although the results came back negative for hepatitis and low iron my liver enzymes were slightly elevated. My doctor says this is nothing to worry about, but I still think I should have more in-depth testing done to explore the test results. Should I? What course of action would you recommend?

Dear dj,
The response depends on the nature of the liver test abnormality. Often we will repeat tests monthly to confirm that the elevated liver tests represent a real finding and not lab variation. An ultrasound of the liver is done to exclude structural cuases for elevations of GGT.
