elevated liver enzymes before starting AP

January 9, 2009

I'm very confused and feel like giving up because my health just seems to be so

bad. If it's not one thing it's another and I'm not even 29 yet.

I had bloodwork done with Dr. S in Chattanooga at the end of November before

starting AP. They just called me this week to tell me that my liver enzymes were

high. He is wanting to do a Hepatitis screen on me. I am pretty sure I don't

have hepatitis.

What else can cause elevated liver enzymes and what can I do to help my liver so

that I can take the antibiotics?

I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but I had my gallbladder taken

out 6 days before the blood draw because of gallstones. I did read they could

cause liver enzymes to go up, but would they still be increased after the

surgery?

I've kinda freaked myself out googling this stuff because on Christmas Eve I

started having a pain in my lower abdomen and it's still there. Is this

related?
