Some of you may or may not have read my previous posts back a few months ago
but ill just do a quick back track..
Basically im 25, was fit and healthy, then one day I had terrbile pains in my lower left hand side
8 weeks on of feeling ill i started to turn yellow (jaundice) and then due to my hospitals lack of concern, they left me for another 2 weeks.. in those 2 weeks i went down quickly
I ended up with ALT of 800
AST of about 400
and a billirubin level of 980
i got rushed to the QE in Brum... and well they kinda fixed me lol.
I have had about 4 ERCP's, 4 CT scans. 5 Ultra Sounds.. 1 colonopschy, the operation where they took my gallbladder and enlarged lymph nodes and a bit of my liver, and 1 ercp by surgical which caused the blood clot.
As i said before all tests have come back negative for anything.. and my liver ive been told as no permanent damage. and time is the healer..
All tests have come back negative for everything.
My lymph node was blocking my bile duct, that as been taken away and bile duct is now open.
ALl liver tests come back negative for any damage and the only thing they found was it filled with bile.. obviously billirubin 980
2 months on... after being released im eating well again, put a bit fo weight back on, as i lost over 6 stone in that period
Im slowly turning white.. although my skin was bleached a homer simpson yellow.
my billirubin is now 28
my ast is 29
but my alt is 180 - 200
now there isnt really a bench mark for this kind of situation, the QE (liver specialists) have called me the mystery man. but i was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to do to aid the liver healing process... and help get my alt's back down.
any advice is appreciated
regards
phil
