I asked my doctor and received some of my blood work and see some high and low resultsas well as normal. I'll put a few out and maybe someone can explain them, please. Mitochondria M2 Antibody-40.6 normal-under 20
ALP 130 normal 33-130 Bone isoenzyme 21 normal-28-66
liver isoenzyme 79 normal-25-69 ALT 33 AST30
Hematocrit 32.8 normal 35.0-45.0 Hemoglobin 11.1 normal 11.7-15.5
MCH-32.8 normal 27.0-33.0 MCHC-33.8 normal-32.0-36.0 MCV 97.1 normal80.0

I know that's a lot and it isn't all of the tests but I'll stop. Thanks for whatever help anybody can offer. It's confusing.

hey, everyone. I was just wondering if anyone could look at my post above this and see if they can help understand the test results? Appreciate whatever help is out there.

The antimitochondrial antibody M2 is seen in people with inflammation in the bile ducts within the liver. It is an autoimmune process, and the high liver enzyme ALP or alkaline phosphatase supports that idea. Your low HCT is a sign of anemia, and the size of your red blood cells is normal, indicating the anemia is most likely related to chronic illness rather than a specific deficiency like iron or B12. I am sure your Dr will talk with you more about this and suggest some treatment to reduce the inflammation, which then may help the anemia as well, and fatigue.
