I had blood tests twice in recent months for tiredness but it showed up my liver was damaged, I have cut out drinking (even though I didn't drink very much) I am now scared to go back for the last set of tests as if it is still raised.... I have to go to the hospital.

Doc said my liver was raised and I had increased white blood cells 🙁

Do you have any idea of what it could be?

Don't be scared to go back for the results because it's important that you go through all the stages of diagnosis, so whatever the cause can be treated. Just because you have to go to hospital for further tests, it doesn't mean that it's something serious, although it is important that you recieve the treatment you need. If you're worried about what you might hear from the doctor, take a friend with you for support and you can then talk it through after.

Hi AppleL, have you seen the specialist yet? The body is a force to be reckoned with, it heals itself amazingly well so please don't get too anxious. And of course post here for support x

It might be Gilberts Syndrome, as that is what I suffer from, which is absolutely NOTHING to worry about, but cutting out preservatives, wheat, dairy, sugar, white potato, white rice, paracetamol and alcohol...might help you in the interim, plus taking milk thistle tablets.

Best wait to see what the doctor says...before you go about self diagnosing.

Good luck.
