I had some elevated liver and kidney readings about a month finishing up a cycle, which, at my age, I really had no business running some of that stuff. But what's done is done. So that led me down a path of *extensive* kidney and liver tests. You name it, I've had it, everything short of a liver biopsy. So I stopped everything except TRT (prescribed and monitored by an endocrinologist) over a year ago. The testing eventually included the test in the thread title, and the first test was negative, all the other tests were normal except for the elevated blood test results, which eventually all came back down into the normal range. I didn't even know what the Anti-Smooth Muscle Antibody test was for, and since the first one was negative, didn't bother to look it up. Then, all of a sudden on a subsequent test two months later during which time I wasn't using anything, I tested positive. That led me to research the heck out of the test, which meant I had autoimmune hepatitis, which could also mean cirrhosis of the liver. But none of the other tests indicated cirrhosis or traditional hepatitis, and like I said, all the other liver tests were normal.
Three months after the initial positive test, wanting to make sure it wasn't a false positive, I tested positive again. Three months after that, I tested negative. While that's a relief, I'm totally confused as it's not supposed to go back to negative after two positives.
The positive tests which caused me to stop all supplementation are the reason I've not been visiting the board lately.
So everything is trending well again, I have an appointment to discuss results in a few weeks.
Wondering if anyone else has had a positive test for this, and if so, whether it eventually turned negative again, what the doc told you, etc. Also wondering if any of the more scientific folks here can shed any additional light.
Now that everything is back to normal.....I'm so damn tempted to start up again, albeit with milder substances. I'm gonna wait, but I've got a fair amount of stuff stocked up I'd like to get through before I get any older, but at the same time, don't want to risk kidney/liver disease.
All replies are greatly appreciated.
