Hi I would greatly appreciate some perspective on my liver. I have been seeing gastroenterologists every few months regarding my ongoing liver derangement. Just a bit of background they picked it up early last year. I am 21 yo (turned 21 yesterday) 62 kg (BMI around 22) non-alcoholic. April 2012 - ALT - 85 June 2013 - ALT - 103 September 2013 - ALT - 116 November 2013 - ALT - 166 My latest LFT (November 2013) read ALK PHOS - 201 AST - 75 GGT - 260 A little bit more about me -MRI shows fatty liver -Fibroscans show no significant liver damage -Eat healthy go to gym taking egg protein since july (all advised by doctors) -Do not drink heavily or often -Do not smoke do drugs take any medication (paracetamol etc.) -No hepatitis The specialists have refused a biopsy and just 'want to see what happens'. My GP has not been particularly helpful or caring. I just feel a little bit down :( Look forward to any help or advice

Hello have you gone to a GI/Hepatologist? That would be the type of doctor to go see. I apologize if you have done that. When you say they want to see what happens does that mean they have asked you to change your diet? My friend has NASH a non alcoholic liver disorder and she has been told that she needs to better control her diabetes and lose weight as she is nearing cirrhosis. If you are not happy with your doctor you can always get a second opinion. Please let us know how you are doing. Take Care
