Hello all,
I do hope you are all safe and well.
I was wondering and hoping that someone or several of you can offer some assistance/support
In 2013 I was diagnosed as having TYPE 2 - this was on and off for some time, until finally I saw an endocrinologist who did genetic testing to confirm I was infect type 2. So all these years later I take Metformin 2 tablets twice a day. In this time I have had 2 children and during both pregnancies have had to inject insulin. One the pregnancies were over I reverted back to Metofrmin.
Diabetes is well managed, blood work is fine, no concerns there. Some look at it and say I am not diabetic.
Recently I was officially diagnosed with PCOS, only took 23 years to get there mind.
In 2014 I saw a Heptologist as my liver function in particular the ALT was a bit squiffy and after repeating it several times they referred be to see him. I had a scan I think a fibro scan and was confirmed NAFLD, but he didn't have any concerns.
I don't drink alcohol, I don't drink caffein and I don't smoke.
I recently had an ultra sound on my liver, that showed fatty liver again, so no changes there that I am aware of. This test was arranged by my endocrinologst as I was worried about the liver function test being a bit high again, so he said lets just get a scan done.
In the mean time I had a blood test come back (NO idea who ordered this test) but it was for ELF - enhanced liver fibrosis.
I called the GP this morning who said we don't know who requested it, and turns out it is positive with a score of 10.9. Apparently the normal upper score is 7.6 and mine is 10.9.
She is going to refer me back to the Heptologist I saw all those years ago.
I have sobbed this morning, I have severe worry and I feel it has consumed me.
Has anyone out there got or had NAFLD and had this ELF blood test before???
Thanks in advance
