Elevated Liver Panel

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question... got a phone call from my primary care doctor

today saying " one " (I thought there was only one) of my liver panels

came back elevated (normal is 60-66 and mine was 79). She said no

need to worry, we'll just re-check it in six weeks. My concern is the

line of communication, the liver panel is ordered by my

rheumatologist who of course knows more about my meds. The nurse (I

use the term lightly as I believe they staff the office with

minimally trained medical assistants these days and not RN's) who

called said it was " probably just a medication I had taken " when I

told her I take the meds on a regular basis she seemed confused. I

put in a call to the rheum. office and have not heard back yet. I

will try again in the morning. This is the first time this has

happened plus with the swelling and pain I have been experiencing I

am just a bit more concerned than usual.

Thanks for the feedback!!!
