Blood results
Blood Results – I spoke last week on the Q&A About liver function and B asked me to send on my bloods, so posting here for some feedback. *Short reference, bile issue, unsure if its a production issue or a blockage issue so bloods might shine some light. Possible IBD based on family genetics, Doctor passed me off as too young to be anything serious! -

Hi – thanks for sharing your results. Unfortunately, they didn’t measure what I was hoping to see: ALT and Direct bilirubin specifically. Both AST and GGT seem to be fine, but ALT is more specific to liver turnover and direct bilirubin can point to biliary tract health. An increase in direct bilirubin is usually associated with a dysfunction or blockage in the liver, gallbladder, or biliary tree. This wasn’t measured.
What did jump out in your previous and current results however is a pattern of dehydration. I typically see higher albumin, higher protein, and higher RBC when there’s dehydration. Does this make sense to you?
Do you hydrate enough during the day? Do you sweat or do sauna often? Are you on any kind of diuretics? Do you consume a lot of caffeine? All of these can increase your need for more water.

I drink around 2-3 litres of water daily. Sometimes consume 150-350mg caffeine daily, but not always. I had been doing Sauna therapy late 2021 and early 2022 so maybe adding to that? My FMD back then had me on high consumption of Vitamin C? 1000mg? Would have been the only thing that I can recall maybe being something, early 2022?

are you adding sole or other form of electrolytes in your water? It can help with absorption…
