Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been a beer drinker for 30 years, the past 3 years I have been drinking liquor and beer a lot more after my divorce. My blood work over the past 4 years has began to change for the worst. I have a high MCV of 100.4, high MCH of 33.2 and a low Alkaline phosphatase of 36. I have reduced my drinking now and I am eating more exercising and taking supplements, my body looks good and I am fit 6 0 190lb. I have had very low energy levels in the mid-day and late evening, my skin itches a lot and my girlfriend says my eyes are yellow. I am 51 years old. Should I be worried about liver damage or disease cirrhosis etc???? Iam worried and stressing big time.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, in absence of clinical symptoms such blood test can not be taken into consideration for any disease or else it may need some other investigation if the liver pathology is suspected then it need to brought to investigation like blood test (LFT ) and imaging study, excessive consumption of alcohol is not good for health, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
