Liver

by tanza14, Oct 07, 2008 03:41PM
I havent been feeling well for a while now. I have discomfort on my right side, feel dizzy with headaches, and very tired all day.. I use to drink everyday but have since cut it down to 2 days a week..I went to the dr and they did liver tests with the following results
Liver profile
Total Protein 7.1 G/DL
Albumin 4.4 G/DL
Globulin 2.7 G/DL
AST (SGOT) 61 IU/L
ALT (SGPT) 78 IU/L
ALK Phosphatase 35 IU/L
Total Bilirubin 0.1 MG/DL
Cholesterol 331 MG/DL
Does this mean i have liver damage?

It sounds like you are experiencing the symptoms of liver damage. If you are feeling dizzy you may want to have the doctor check for anemaia if he hasn't. It should be in the CBC you took.

Normal of ALT is 7-56, yours is  high, normal AST is 5-40  high. This doesn't necassarily mean you have liver damage. Your Albumin is normal. Your doctor would have to use a combinatin of your test to decern liver damage or if it may be something else.

If you go to lab tests on line they will explain your lab results and what is low,high or normal.
