What Does The Elevated Liver Enzymes And Low White Cell Count Indicate?
I have a horseshoe kidney located right below the belly button. I have all the symptoms that go along with gallstones and or pancreatitis. I get stabbing pain right below the breast bone towards the naval area that then radiates to my lover back. Had CT of belvic and abdomen and shows no inflamation but many abnormalities with organs. Blood work shows elevated liver enzymes and low white cell count. What would you think may be causing these symptoms?
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. SGOT and SGPT are sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of diseases or conditions, and collectively they are termed liver tests or liver blood tests. So the next step is to look for certain liver damage and most common casue is fatty liver disease. It should be confirmed by ultrasound. Other causes are viral hepatitis,cirrhosis, medications, alcohol intake or autoimmune diseases. To verify exact cause, US, bilirubin levels and tumor markers should be additionaly done Then appropriate treatment can be started. I hope I have answered you query.
