What Causes Fatigue, Abdominal Pain And Loss Of Appetite With Higher ALT Level?
Hi. My wife had a blood test and it told her that her ALT levels were 118 which is understand as high. She had the blood test because she s been having these symptoms for a couple weeks: intense fatigue, abdominal pain, lower appetite, feeling of being full after eating, and headaches. Sometimes the fatigue is so strong she can t stand up for more than a few minutes. We are seeing a doctor next week, but wanting some answers. We are scared that it is cancer. What else could it be? Thank you for your time.
Hi Thank you for posting your query in HCM. I had gone through your question I understand your concerns. The symptoms you display are consistent with liver cell injury.In liver problems fatigue is the most common and characteristic symptom.
