Fibrosure results puzzling

[Johnspc]

I just had a fibrosure test done at Labcorp. Labcorp indicated they could not score the test because my Alpha 2-Macroglobulins score was high at 518. Normal is 110-276. My other results were as follows:

Haptoglobin - 44
Apolipoproein A-1 - 150
Bilirubin (Total) - 0.1
GGT - 80
ALT (SGPT) - 161

My major concern is the Alpha 2- Macroglobulin. I would love to know if this is a major problem. Can anyone shed some light on this. Thank you.

Have you had an HCV PCR to see if you have Hepatitis C?
They can also determine your genotype if the right code is used.
Also you might want to start your own thread - that way more people might see and respond.

Alpha 2 Macroglobulin    503  high
Haptoglobulin                  120
Apolipoprotein                 148
Bilirubin                            0.4
GGT                                  13
ALT                                   33  high

Fibrosis score                    0.49
Fibrosis stage                    F2

I received blood with the birth of my daughter the year before they began testing for Hep C. I received a letter from my Dr. 8 years later informing me to have my blood checked because my donor had been rejected for anymore donations. I just got these scores in August 2015.

Hey, if were comparing numbers:

My fibrosis score was stated as Fo-F1.

Alpha 2 Macroglobulins 233
Haptoglobin 155
Apolipoprotein 144
Bilirubin, total 0.6
GGT 29
Alt 60

everything is within the normal range except ALT.  My test shows normal range for ALT to be 0-55, so at 60 it is not too high.

These results were 7 months post treatment, and after relapse.  Things appear realaviely close to what they were before treatment.  My biopsy at that time showed no fibrosis, but some beginning damage ... kind of what this test shows.

My thoughts (prayers) are that my liver is in good enough shape that I can wait a few years until the new and improved medicines are out.

I hesitated to share my fibrosure results with you because I don't want you to think that your liver stage is the same as mine. However, until someone else comes along to shed some light on your question I'm going to give you my fibrosure numbers.
I was staged at F2

  Fibrosis score 0.54

  Alpha 2 Macroglobulins 497    high
  Haptoglobin            46
  Apolipoprotein        151
   Bilirubin, total      0.4
   GGT                   10
   Alt                   13

Your enzymes are high. There must be inflamation going on.

I hope these numbers help you. They were very similar to mine except for the enzymes which indicate inflamation.

when snook-man comes on here maybe he can help you i think he just had one done,

I'm sorry but I have no clue what that means. I hope that someone will come along and provide you with sanswers. Good luck.
