What Does This LFT Result Indicate Despite Having Negative Test Results For Hepatitis?

My son just had blood work done and his liver count is over 400. Additional tests for hepatitis A, B, and C have been done as well as Valley Fever. All tests have come back negative. His primary doctor is stumped. Says he is healthy and his body will heal itself. Freaking out a little bit He is a correctional officer and another correctional officer in another prison in the area has end-stage liver disease. Is there possibly a connection?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Liver count over 400 is not significant and doesn't indicates any liver disease. In hepatitis the values will be above 2000. End stage liver disease will not be contagious most of the time. You can redo the test after one week. As of now avoid oily foods and drink plenty of water, no definitive treatment is required.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
