A member asked:
Could a 'coag screen' which i assume includes pt be useful for ruq pain and ^ alt. will it tell if my liver is doing okay ?

You can do better: The pt / prothrombin time only becomes prolonged when the liver is gravely damaged. If you have elevated alt, and it's not just muscle enzyme from your extreme-fitness activities, you owe it to yourself to get a proper workup -- hepatitis b and c, hemochromatosis, wilson's, and autoimmune hepatitis. If metabolic syndrome, returning to your fitness lifestyle may be key. Glad you're not drinking.
