Question: Hi I am 41 years old, 185 cm/6'1" and 102 kgs/224 lbs (overweight) have just received some blood work back which caused me to be very concerned about my liver. I had high triglycerides, my ALT was 41, and bilirubin 4.4. Most concerning at this point is the high bilirubin. I have no pruritis (itching), but when i look at my eyes and skin (now that i know these test results, i think i may see some yellowing). I have been told i was on the verge of a fatty liver in the past and I drink, usually beer or wine - usually 1-2 with dinner during the week, but sometimes much more on the weekend, but had watched that for a couple of years since being told of the fatty liver (before letting that go for the past several months - thinking i was ok), but obviously I was incorrect as the numbers i have received are very concerning to me. I am now extremely concerned and am wondering how long (without drinking) it may take my bilirubin and liver to return to normal, if ever, and what else i should be doing to help that. I had a heart attack 10 years ago and so take crestor (20 mg q d); coreg (20 mg q d); imdur or iso-sorbride mononitrate (30 mg q d); fish oil capsules 4 grams q d; 81 mg of aspirin and a multivitamin. I try to exercise a couple of times a week, but that depends mostly on my travel schedule for work. Assuming this is alcohol related, what can i expect and how bad is my situation. i know i must stop drinking all alcohol, and i have a follow up with my doctor on Sunday, but i am anxious to receive any information before then. It may be imaginary, but i think since being told, i can feel discomfort in my right side where the liver is. I have had pain (sharp / shooting pain) once about 2 weeks ago. I was also on prednisilone and an antiviral medication for 2 weeks (which i think is a cortico steroid for treatment of Bells Palsey, starting the beginning of September). A phone call would be most appreciated if possible. Thank you in advance for any information you can give over and above what i have found on line (which is fairly disturbing to me!).
