Lab tests

NancyJoMember

I am 3 1/2 years post op Total colectomy with j-pouch take down.

I recently have had labs drawn and came back with slightly elevated SGOT/AST and SGPT/ALT liver values. By slight I mean very slight like 2 to 4 units above the norm for the lab that drew.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this slight liver function.

I appreciate your thoughts. NJ

I doubt that elevations that slight are of any signifigance. That said, if they are a big jump compared to previous tests, then repeating in a week or so makes sense. Otherwise, following up with repeat tests in a few months is fine.

IBD is associated with various liver diseases, so that is the reason for screening and follow up.
