I need bb doctors!! Dh had his blood work done for his physical a month ago, his liver function enzymes (ALT) came back high at 103. Normal is below 50. Well he went back yesterday for a retest and it is now at 75, still elevated but better. He has no other symptoms but I of course googled and anything from alcohol to cancer or hepatitis can be the issue. He doesn't drink a lot and is getting more labs tomorrow with the results till Monday. I'm just soo stressed and worried.. He's my best friend I can't see my self with out him.. I know I might be overreacting like he says but I can't stop. Any one else gone through this?

I've never experienced this, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry and I hope everything turns out perfectly fine.

Don't panic! The liver is an amazing organ that can regenerate itself. It is probably more to do with diet

I agree w pp, probably has a lot to do with diet. Cut out fatty meats and have him not drink at all for awhile.

7I've had liver enzymes in the 2,000's and I'm still alive. His enzymes are not so high that he (or you) should worry about life or death! You can accidentally run into something and hit that area of your body and your enzymes will elevate. You can drink alcohol or take Tylenol and your enzymes can elevate. They are going down so, I'm guessing he had a temporary /minor trauma to his liver and now, it's healing. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to pm me anytime... I have been dealing with liver issues for years now and have a pretty good understanding of what is going on. Take a deep breath hun. He's going to be just fine! ?
ETA : I just skimmed through your previous posts and you seem to worry about anything and everything hun! Have you considered going to therapy, starting anxiety medication or anything else to help calm your nerves /soul? You need to be physically and mentally healthy to be the best mom you can be!!

I was hospitalized for a week because my liver enzymes were over 500. I don't drink, they couldn't find anything wrong, other than elevated levels. They kept me until my levels were in an acceptable range, and then sent me home. They didn't seem worried because they couldn't find a problem. It's been over a year, it hasn't happened since, and I am feeling great. We still don't know what caused it though. If the drs aren't worried, I think you can rest assured that things are going to be okay.

@mrs.quintana... I'm on anxiety and depression meds. I worry about everything...my anxiety is so bad I have anxiety/panic attacks a lot. I have tried therapy a few times but never found someone I felt comfortable with.
Thank you all for Your replies they definitely helped calm me down.
