High Liver enzymes

[athelp]

My husband had a blood test done a few months ago....and had a liver enzyme that was high.  He had a second test a few weeks later...it was normal.  He had another this past week and the doctor called to tell him that he had several high enzymes and that he needs to schedule a test for a sonogram for his liver, pancreas, and gall bladder.

The first reaction was, oh no...he has hepatitis.  Though we don't know how he would have gotten it.  I was schedule for a yearly exam, so I asked to have blood work done...for peace of mine really, and all my tests were normal.  

Could he have hepatitis and not have given it to me?  Wouldn't I have tested positive too?

I realize it's probably early to be worrying and we'll find some answers out next week....but I just can't help the worrying!  

Any input would be very helpful.
Thank you!

Doo Dee please email me, if you want to chat. I was also meant to have a Hysterectomy. It was only then, that blood tests came back, showing elevated GammaGT and AST/ALT. It is worrying.There are others who will try to help you too.I admire so many people here - even though i do not know them. Many, are suffering - yet, they will always try to give good advice:)

"Cuteous and Scruffy"

It is "scary"  writing on the boards for the first time. The Ultrasound of my liver, gallbladder and spleen, seemed to be OK. GammaGT has still not gone down. You two, are friendly and kind to us Newbies:) I have asked for a whole range of blood tests. in the meantime, I send best wishes to you - from Manchester - England. My arm is almost black, as it is covered in bruises : having read your other post I have asked for ALL Blood tests to rule out Hepatites. I hope, I can find you guys if the results, are NOT good.  Thanks for the help that you give to us new ones, and ((HUGS)) foreverfriends1

I was worried about you! I am glad you are still on your quest for answers, gosh! I do hope someone comes up with them.
Once the hepatitis tests are done, and you have the results, please post them in the above threads, there are so many knowledgeable people and so many different experiences that someone might give you a good suggestion for a path to follow. I just read something about excessive bruising, platelets or high hemoglobin, I can't remember.  When you get the hep results and your blood chemistry, post the results and the range used by the lab, and see if anyone can figure things out>\
Keep in touch.
((hugs))

cuteus, to be honest, I can't remember the entire gist of the riff between her and you or who was involved, I can't remember what I had for dinner last night, never mind this cr*p...but I feel that you are always making reference to the 'old timers' and the 'newbies' and saying that you (old timer) can't be bothered with any of us newbies (which btw, I absolutely hate that term) because we are so clueless and what do we know? THAT is what I dislike.

I don't like the reference to being jealous either...which I can't for the life of me figure out what there is to be jealous of...vast knowledge or something, maybe? I don't know...and who died and left anybody boss of the bottom feeder area anyway? THAT is what I dislike, that 'sense of entitlement' and the ruling elite attitude...really don't like it...

But you know what? We are ALL guests here and should be grateful that we have the opportunity to express our thoughts in this forum and should try to do so respectfuly, don't you agree?

That thread got messed up and closed so I'll talk down here. I wasn't saying I thought 'she' was being childish, but the author of the post that I quoted (and I'm sure you'll figure out who I mean if you go back and read it).

Sometimes I feel like this forum is similar to the old series 'Our Gang', remember that show and the obnoxious kid Alphalfa? Always thinking he is so smart and he can sing but he really can't? And that bossy little fat kid Spanky that had everyone doing his bidding...Remember how they had their little club house and 'keep out' sign and so forth? Well, that's how I feel this forum is...There are a few club members that want to hole up in their little fort and ban everyone else from entering that isn't part of their gang...put on little shows and run and hide when they get into trouble...the board hits them in the a** as they duck thru the fence running back to their club house...and then talk their way out of it and come back next week to do it all over again...

I just hate that cr*p! I know a lot was said back and forth and 'she' was feeling very singled out and was just fighting back...I know her and she isn't crazy or paranoid at all. I really like her and would probably like most of you all if I knew you better but with this small bit of information here in this forum, it's hard to know what is what sometimes. Email me at home if you want...my email is in an archived thread...look for the long heading...I don't want to start any more trouble, I just wanted you to know how I felt.

I am not sure why you feel the need to side with vegg all the time and why you take offense and take it personal when I made my statement of the no clue people. I can't figure out why you feel it addresses anyone else but the poster who felt we were making fun of her. That shows that this person has no clue as to what is going on and is trying to stir up things. Why did you not find her regular statements as to the old timers and the she devils, etc offensive  is beyond me.  The constant poking and insinuations to stir things up. But I make a comment as to she has no clue and you take offense. It is disrturbing to me, and makes me wonder what is going on that folks seem to be blinded by this person's antics.  That is why we are down here, to avoid confrontation. but it continues to follow us due to this person. I am happy you feel a kinship to her and want to defend her no matter what, but please do not do so at the expense of my post.
