What’s The Cause Of My Liver Damage?
I’d really apprecaite some feedback on this. I’m a 30 year old male, 5’10, slim, in reasonably good health. I do suffer from depression and anxiety and have taken medication for both conditions.
Recently, I have had some blood tests. My GGT came back 95 and my ALP came back 129. My bilirubin is normal and there is no swelling in my liver. No jaundice either. Yesterday, I had an ultrascan in light of these high values. The report is cellular liver damage due to either ethanol, drug induced, or inflammation. I also have high cholesterol (6.3), and certainly do not exercise enough.
I do not take drugs, seldom drink, and have a conservative sexual history. I have, however, taken various anti-depressants (Prozac and Citalopram). I have also taken diazepam through the years, here and there.
Symptomatically, I experience tiredness perhaps once or twice every week. I experience headaches and mild dizziness, too. It is often to assess whether these symptoms are due to depression/anxiety.
My question is: (1). what could I be dealing with? (2). Whose opinion would you value more – a radiologist or a GP? I ask this because, when the radiologist saw my scan, within 2 seconds he said drug induced liver damage. Whereas the GP somewhat disputed this.
