undefinedundefinedundefined I am a 43 year old female who is very concerned about my liver enzymes test results. For quite awhile my left flank area would ache but nothing was done about it until I called the Doctor one day from my office because I was happing sharp jabbing pain on my left side, consent ache and a little nausea. The doctor gave me pain pills and ran a blood test. I was told that everything was normal. A week ago I had severe aching on my left side, sharp jabbing pain and a little nausea. The ER doctor told me that my liver enzmes where very high.

My results were:

SGOT/AST was 327 normal reference is 13-35 IU/L
SGPT/ALT was 729 normal reference is 26-56 IU/L
ALK Phos was 218 normal reference is 63-127 IU/L

I was admitted to the hospital to have a abdominal ultra sound the next day that was normal. So they released me from the hospital with test results of

SGOT/AST was 249
SGPT/ALT was 591
ALK PHOS was 193

all of these are still to high but the house doctor released me since my liver enyzmes were going down.

The following week My family doctor check for Hepatitis A,B & C and they e and all was normal. However the live enzymes were not back to normal.

The 249 opn the SGOT was 215
The 591 on the SGPT/ALT was 491
The ALK PHOS was 215 from the 193 - slightly higher then the day the doctor at the hospital released me.

I'm wondering why the aching, sharp jabbing pain is on the left side of my body but the liver is on the right. My family doctor is sending me to a gastro
Doc and I have an appointment tomorrow. I'm worried. I am not a drinker and have never been. I may have a total of 6 drinks in a years time.

I would really appreciate speaking with someone who has had such test results or has medical knowledge.

I almost forgot to menition - I have alot of lower back and hip area pain but I've had that for a year or two - A year ago I had a Spinal MRI for by back pain and approximately two years ago a pelvic MRI that was fine. However, my blood test at those times were normal
