Hi,
I am an ex heavy drinker and i was told to cut down after my tests came back in October 3 of the tests were normal and 2 were high. When i got them re done in November all of them were high with one of them being at 202. I did drink the night before.
I have stopped drinking full stop and have my tests again next week as i have been getting pain under right rib and some yellow stool.
Could the last tests been raised due to drinking the night before? Anyone else had issue with pain under right rib? Also is 202 a lot in a test?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks for the replys in advance
The pain could be from your liver but you ought to go and see your doctor. He could also explain your blood results and the yellow stool, which could be caused by liver disease, amongst other things.
Go to your doctor - sooner rather than later.

Have you read this leaflet?
And then there is the following:
A reduction or absence of bile salts can cause the stool to become yellow or pale. Bile salt production can be reduced due to severe liver disease such as hepatitis or cirrhosis. The passage of bile salts into the intestines can be prevented by blockages of the bile ducts due to inflammation, gallstones, or external compression. Pain, especially in the right upper abdomen, fever, nausea, itching, and yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes can also occur with these conditions.
Hi i was at my doctors this morning he is not too worried, i have repeat bloods next week but he thinks the pain is more aresult of my constipation. The yellow stool is not constant and i have no jaundice or itchy.
I had an ultrasound 3 months ago which showed not change in the liver so i am hoping it is not serious liver disease.
