Could you please tell me what you think is going on?
Test results and dates;
ALT 58, ALk Phos and AST (normal high) 1/06
Roughly same results 6 months and 1 year later.
Liver ultrasound ok.
Hepatitis viral test done 3 times over 1 year period (negative) including hepatitis C.
Iron test ok initially, but last ones 1 month ago..TIBC 225 transferrin 178, iron 71, % sat 32, ferritin 178.
ANA positive 1/320 speckled pattern (referred to rheumatologist, said negative for lupus)
Albumin ok (only once tested at the begining)
Had a buldging engorged vein in my mouth inner cheek, md said it will go away and it was ok.
Have recently, indentions in both my thumb fingernail (valley)
Have frequent dyspepsia.
Had intense itching about 7 years ago for 6months. Dermatologist gave me allegra went away in 1 day.
Have prostatitis (ok)
Both siblings (brothers) have elevated LFT's but neither pursed investigatin them.
Other info; muscle aches/pain/tension (severe at one point but not so much anymore). Burning sensation on lower back. Take wellburtrin and propranolol (anxiety).
Is this iron deficiency anemia? Autoimmune hepatitis? What do you think?
Also if AH would my LFT's be very high? In AH isn't your body constantly attacking your liver?
Any info would be appreciated.
