What Does My Liver Function Test Results Indicate?
My ferretin level is 252 and my ggt is 350 all other liver function test are currently in normal range. I have never smoked and drink approx. 3 glasses of wine a month sometimes none. Previous liver studies were just slightly elevated. Was taken off of Crestor (5mgm everyother day) two months ago. Aloso often have muscle aches and joint paint and intermittent muscle cramps. Do I need to be concerned? Thank You.

Hi thanks for asking question.
Serum ferritin indicate iron storage ...
Which is increased in your case....
According to history provided by you here hemochromatosis has to be ruled out....
It can affect liver...so liver enzymes might increased ....
Close follow up of patient needed...
If needed liver biopsy could be useful for its diagnosis.....
Meanwhile take liw fatty diet with more fruits and green leafy vegetables.....
Take care....
