r/A1AD

Follow up / monitoring ?

Hi all! I was told I’m MZ about 2 months ago. I’ve had persistent elevated LFT, positive ANA each time it’s checked, and a normal ultrasound. I’m 24 and also had cholestasis of pregnancy last year which is when my liver issues all started. I do have right sided pain that comes and goes which started shortly after being told I have A1AD. My alpha 1 antitrypsin level was 87 and then 97 a week later (so I think decent?). I’ll be seeing a specialist, but not until October as that was the soonest availability. I know I will have a fibroscan at that appt. In the meantime, should I ask for labs? Or is that not necessary? I’m curious to know if my liver function is still abnormal, but not sure if this is needed or not

Is the A1AD causing my abnormal liver enzymes and other labs or is it just a factor for an underlying liver issue?

Thank you SO much in advance!!
