Collected my blood test results from the doctor today. OMG! Everything is high. So scary. My liver enzymes (ALT & AST) were escalating high. God, why like that? I already try to control everything already although i admit i did relax more nowadays. Sianz... Doctor told me to go for dialysis 3 times per week, to clean off all the toxins. I shld do that. Toxins build up in the body is not good. I will try to reapply for NKF again...

Alanine transaminase transfers an amino group from alanine to a-ketoglutarate. Its high levels in blood indicate alcoholic or viral hepatitis, CCF, liver damage, or biliary duct problems. However its levels fluctuate over the course of the day and even during strenuous activity. Aspartate transamine facilitates the conversion of aspartate and a-ketoglutarate to oxaloacetate and glutamate. It is raised in acute liver damage, damage to RBCs, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, kidney and brain tissue.

Have to go on strict diet regime again. Very difficult as mum is such a great cook and always buy good stuff to eat. Gan ba teh, jia you!!
