High Liver Enzyme Values?

[Scooby_Who 5]

Has anyone's pre-op liver values been elevated? I got my lab results back today, and the normal is 0-31 u/L, and mine are 284 and 181!!! (the ALT and AST enzyme values) The nurse said that the doctor didn't say anything about not going ahead with surgery (scheduled for May 30!), but that I needed to make an appt with my family doctor (which I did). Also, I have been doing the pre-op liquid/liver shrinking/detox diet for a week already. I have a history of liver issues in my family, so I'm very worried.

It's definitely something you need to follow up with, not for the sake of the band but for your own health. I'd follow up with your family doctor and see what they say.

Best wishes to you, I hope it all turns out well so you can have a healthy liver and still get your band.

My enzymes are always slightly elevated, but never that high. I would definitely go ahead with follow-up and consult your primary doctor on that, especially if there is a family history of this. I know mine is high because I have very mild fatty liver disease, which mine is because I had gone so long with high cholesterol and gallbladder disease that they fat started depositing in my liver.
