Now I have to have MRI, because my enzymes been elevated for over a year.
Alk phosphate is at 183 and range is 38-126
AST is 97 and should be 14-36
ALT 144 should be <35

They want to check liver ducts, liver and gall bladder. Anyone have numbers this high? I feel pretty good.
I just had a useless CT with two contrast, what a waste at my local hospital.
Now more contrast!!
Would you do the MRI?
Thanks I know I’ve been a pain lately on the board. Sorry

Absolutely have the MRI...called an MRCP. As well, ask for an AMA blood test.
I have PBC...Primary Biliary Cholangitis, and the AMA confirmed it. It was suspect I had PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis) for at lesst 10 years, but I refused to have invasive ERCP unless I turned yellow, sigh.

As well, consider to see a liver specialist.

My enzymes were normal on 9/4 and then I had iron infusion. So this maybe the cause
