I go to the health fair in my town every year. This year I got my tests back, today & am SCARED. ALL my liver enzymes are high.

Alkaline Phosphatase, Normal 33-115--- MINE-154
AST, Normal 10-30--- MINE 46
ALT, Normal 6-40--- MINE 134
GGT, Normal 3-55--- MINE 279

I've had a slightly elevated ggt for the past 5/7 years, since I had gallbladder surgery, but not any of the others. I was put on an antibiotic for my first ever UTI the week before my health fair tests... So I was on Macrobid, which did nothing for the uti, so the day before the blood tests I was put on Cipro. I also take Pristiq for mild depression & genralized anxiety disorder. Could these medications have caused the sudden crazy jump in my liver enzymes? I drink a glass of wine just a couple nights a week with dinner...I'm not a big drinker & didn't drink any alcohol for several nights before the test. I'm 40 year old female & have no other symptoms. I work out almost everyday...so I'm active & pretty healthy. I do have an appt Wednesday to discuss my tests results.

Thanks for anyone's' insight.
