HI  I have been done for drink driving,  I am an alcoholic but have taken milk thistle for fifteen years, but have to have a medical before i can get my licence back. I have to have a urine and blood sample. I have done numerous urine test strips at home for bilibrubin and eurogloblin and they are negative. But the blood test involves ALT AST and GGT I am worried that they will be high. I cant tell my GP, and i cant do the blood test myself.  How can I   a.. find out if they are high or   b ..reduce them if they are.  Thanks Ellen
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. GGT will be definitely high. ALT, AST will depend on the liver function.2. Unless you don't give your blood sample, there is no other possibility.3. Urobilinogen can be tested in urine by holding it in a test tube and shaking it. You can appreciate yellow foam, if present. Bilirubin, however requires laboratory test. If high, you could have citrus, and jaundice. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
