Hi Diana,
As you mention the liver enzyme tests, these were the ones that were abnormal:
* ESR – persistently above normal range – average test result of 18, when the normal range is 1 – 14
(number of tests taken is 17 tests) it’s a sign of increased inflammation, or anemia
* Alanine Transaminase – above normal 5 times, out of 19 tests often when I’ve had a ‘bad night’
* Alk. Phosphotase – above normal 3 times, out of 22 tests, all 3 when the above was abnormal
* C-Reactive Protein – above normal on all 5 tests, taken since my accident
(according to Medline – C-reactive protein is produced by the liver. The level of CRP rises when there is inflammation throughout the body.)
As I said, I don’t drink alcohol because I’m intolerant (it makes me feel more ill!)
I was watching a video of the lady who promoted the CCSVI, venous insufficiency and MS link in Canada, the other day and she had noticed that her husband had abnormal liver results too.
