Ercp
Hi I'm having a ercp done nxt wk the results of my mri came bk as baseline blood investigation showed deranged liver functions my bilirubin is 26 ALT 673 and alkaline phosphatase is 283. N my cbd diameter is 9mm.can anyone explain to me way all this means please .
The numbers aren't easy to understand because there's not a "per" in them. Raw numbers don't tell a person anything, as these levels are generally measured in quantities, for example "per liter." Without knowing what the "per" is, it's not possible to determine.
I did note that the CBD diameter is greater than normal. The abstract found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/504652 can explain potential causes. Presumably that is why they are doing the ERCP - to narrow down the possibilities.
