Elevated ALP, GGT, and AMA should I wait 6 months to repeat?


Recently I had routine labs drawn. When I received the results my Alk Phosphate was elevated at 246. My PCP followed up by ordering a GGT and AMA, both were elevated as well. My PCP referred me to a GI doctor. I saw a FNP @ the GI office who didn't seem too concerned, offered no explanation of why the enzymes were elevated, but did order an ANA. She said I should just follow up in 6 months to repeat labs, but I'm concerned. I feel I need to get a 2nd opinion but not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions?

Hi I agree with you, you should not wait 6 months.
I would take your labs to another doctor and try to find out what the problem is.
It is your body and you have every right to find out what is wrong.
So sorry for late response. Sometimes life gets in the way :)
