What Casues Abdominal Pain With Back Pain,itching,diarrhea And Nausea?

Posted on Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Question: I just got my result to my last blood test. My AST, SGOT is 59 and my ALT, SGPT is 48 and my Alkaline Phosphatase is 112. Last week I had an ultrasound of my gallbladder and liver the results were many gallstones, enlarged liver. I also have hypothyroidism and diabetes. I have been having a lot of abdominal pain on both sides, back pain(not spine pain) I have also have a lot of itching, diarrhea, nausea. My question is, what else should I make sure my Dr. Looks into? I've been concerned and just changed Dr's because my last Dr wasn't running any test or figuring out whats going on. I was told to eat more fiber and take something for the diarrhea, which is constant.

The cause of your symptoms are unlikely to be due to coincidentally detected gall stones.

I would also the following investigation

I would also like to know some additional history

2. Are your bowel movement regular?

Awaiting your response
