What Causes Fever, Right Sided Abdominal Pain With Elevated Liver Enzymes?
Hi. My name is Kelly. I went to the ER for severe right abdominal pain and fever of 102. They thought it was my appendix but all that turned out good. My blood work showed my liver enzymes were elevated. AST 301 ALT 178 and the doc noted alkaline phosphate were elevated 158. It s been three days and my stomach pain is better. Fever is down. I go to my pcp next week. Is this something to worry about? I ve looked up things on it and it s all scary to me. I do have a history of thorasic nerve damage, winged scapula, anemia, and fibromyalgia.
