ALT 750 Liver cancer??

[brightoneason]

Hi

My latest bloods show very high ALT at 750. I am worried that I now have liver cancer or have cirrhosis. I had some steroids injected into my back in October which resulted in a very big flare, I was very symptomatic for about 2 weeks...all the Docs said the steroids would be fine! Anyway I am now waiting for some more in depth blood results and am booked in for biopsy next monday. I scored 3/6 Ishank score 4 years ago and my last fibro scan was 11.8 Kpl. I relapsed after TX. I have geno 2/3. I am not symptomatic at the moment but the last 2 bloods have shown these very high raised levels.

Has anyone had similar raised levels like this?

I am finding these numbers a bit of a challenge to get my head round.....most people I speak to start looking very worried when the hear these numbers.......its the waiting that I am finding a challenge, I am just trying to rest and eat well. Today has been a tough one...thanks for your response I dont feel so isolated.

An ALT of 750 is concerning but is not indicative of cirrhosis or HCC (liver cancer)..
An ultra-sound examination would be revealing and would help rule out the possibilty of a tumour which is obviously on your mind
A fibroscan reading of 11.5kps suggests advanced fibrosis rather than a definitive cirrhosis diagnosis.
If your bilirubin,albumin and INR are normal it would mean your liver is doing it's job.
Your biopsy next week wil give you a much more accurate picture.
The flare in the ALT could well be a steriod reaction.
The main point is that you are getting the attention you need-nothing in the info you have given says cancer.
