Pam,

Thanks for the response. I believe I have asked this question about

extremely high levels before. I just don't get any answers. For

some reason, it doesn't inspire responses as other topics do and I

don't know if it is because I ask the wrong questions or there are no

answers. I asked a question about hives over a month ago and got not

a single answer which makes me feel invisible sometimes because I want

to know all that I can and this site has helped me in what to ask the

doctors when my son goes for an appointment. And in my family, I am

the only one checking information all the time and so if I stop asking

questions, my son will miss out on stuff that will help him.

So thanks again.

Rita -

It's not that you are invisible. Sometimes there are multiple

questions at one time and I've seen that some don't get responded to,

or not in same depth as others. I think sometimes it is just timing

or who is " reading and responding " at what time. I'd say, ask again!

Liver function tests are often labile. They also aren't nearly as

specific as say the blood glucose is - blood sugar is what it is at

this minute. LFT's are not so specific.
