Need some Advice

[jenbren106]

Hi,
I'm a 28 year old white female.   I went to my medical doctor about 2 months ago and she did blood test on me for a liver test and it came back a little high she said it was something just to be aware of and then she said we had to do another test a month later and it came back worse it was i guess very high she said and something is wrong with my liver and she wasnt sure what to do.  But she said to ask my cardiologist doctor what to do but they dont treat liver problems right? and i dont have an appoitment with him untill 3 weeks i'm not sure if i should wait and just go see him? or  Should i go see a liver specialists? I just dont want it to get really bad can you give me any advice.
Thanks Jen

i think it is OK to wait for your next appointment to check the liver tests.  Hope you feel better.

My doctor checked the  medicine i take and she said none of the medicine i take would of made my liver test be very elevated.  I dont have an appoitment with a GI doctor untill the middle of september i'm mad i couldnt get one sooner but they are booked and i'm not feeling good i've been nauseas and fatigue.  Now i have heart racing problems and sleep apnea and i had hpv but my test i have had the last couple of times came back negative my doctor said none of the problems i have had could of made my test be very elevated but just wanted to ask you and see?  I had a CT done a yesterday i hope thats ok.

one must always be watchful for autoimmune hepatitis especially in a woman of your age.  if viral infections are excluded, then OTC and prescription medications could also be to blame.

Thank you for answering my question.  Well the fist time she did the  test they were elevated and 1 month later it was very elevated and she said something wrong with your liver.  I live in wareham massachusetts....

very often mild liver test abnormalities can be OK so if they are not that elevated we generally wait for six months and follow them.  if they are very elevated however you should definitely see a gastroenterologist or liver specialist.  In what city do you reside?
