I've been putting off going to the doctor for about six years now. I made the call a few weeks back and scheduled a full physical. The test results are in! My liver enzymes are elevated - both ALT and AST. This prompted my NP to order additional blood work and an abdominal ultrasound. The second liver panel showed even higher ALT and AST values...even after nearly a week and a half of no alcohol. The HORROR! My ultrasound revealed an enlarged, fatty liver and I immediately received an email message from my NP through UCSF's MyChart site with "DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL. EXERCISE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN."
Message received LOUD and CLEAR.
