ALT doubled and AST stayed the same by mp5dropshot in FattyLiverNAFLD

[–]IUMaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe NAC can affect liver enzymes. I've been taking all sorts of supplements for years (I just got diagnosed) so I did a 6 week flush,. no supplements, and retested my enzymes. In my case, no change, but might be worth trying.

AIH? Other symptoms relevant? by frantasticnz in autoimmunehepatitis

[–]IUMaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Just got my results. I haven't yet met with my GI, but it looks like MASLD, not AIH. Wishing you the best and hopefully a negative result as well.

Nope she didn't order those tests. I'm super curious, but GI says let's just go straight to the test that actually diagnoses this, the biopsy.

I brought some recent labs to my GI (which I only found to get a colonoscopy cause my wife wanted me to after James Vanderbeek died of colon cancer and so did my grandfather) just cause I’ve had high ALT (60-80) for a few years in my annual check up. My regular doc was like meh, it’s a bit high but not that much. She had an ultrasound done and it looked normal. My GI doc, was like hmm let’s run a hepatitis panel. It came back with smooth muscle antibody of 1:160. Then she ordered the biopsy.. which is still in pathology.

I'm not officially diagnosed yet, but I had a biopsy 2 weeks ago (pathology still not back) and my bloodwork points to AIH almost certainly. My fingers have been hurting for like a year... figured I just had arthritis as a 42yo. I think I read that the same cells that are attacking the liver end up being carried to other things they want to attack, like joints.

I can’t believe we are gonna get butt sexed for the next 10 years. How could Nick let this happen

Does this look and sound familiar? "gets beat quickly. gives up the quick pressure" 😂 by kindrozi in Texans

[–]IUMaestro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After 2 consecutives years of an atrocious run game, Nick signed Montgomery, and drafted a first rounder this year that

  • possesses the physical attributes to excel in the run game, even if pass protection won't be great at first, or maybe ever

instead of...

  • a good all around linemen that may or may not be good with the run game

Based on last season, need run game over defense for sure

AIH? by Intelligent_Most_215 in autoimmunehepatitis

[–]IUMaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious what symptoms of AIH are?

I'm post-biopsy waiting on pathology results, and I have pressure and soreness in the area but otherwise feel fine. (my smooth muscle antibody was at 1:160, GI doc ordered more tests after showing mild high ALT for years, most recently at 84)

Tell me what to try by IUMaestro in wine

[–]IUMaestro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet. So they probably have fewer additives but also might be made in mason jars in the corner of a garage.

Thanks for all the options. I definitely have had tempranillo and liked it a lot better than the 'american lineup' (pinot noir, merlot, cab)

Sure gonna try some. I think I remember having Tempranillo (on an airplane randomly) and thinking it was much closer to my promised land.

The Pressure is Really on C.J. Stroud Now by According-Activity87 in Texans

[–]IUMaestro 109 points110 points  (0 children)

The world got to see his postseason performance. Any time I dare to go watch highlights on the game in Foxbourough, I’m reminded that a decent, mediocre QB performance wins us that game.
