- On a blood chemistry test (cholesterol, bilirubins, alkaline
- phosphate, AST/SGOT, GGTP, etc.) all numbers turned up well
- within normal range except GGTP (67, reference 0-45) and
- triglycerides (196, reference 30-150). Glucose was slightly
- low but within reference (72, 65-110).

- Patient is male, 30, about 80 lbs. overweight, and had an acute
- relapse of mononucleosis symptoms five years ago after one night of heavy
- alchohol consumption during recovery from mono. Currently patient
- complains of heartburn, anxiety, apathy, frequent thirst & urination,
- episodes of depression. Should there be any concern here (liver
- damage, hypoglycemia, diabetes, etc.?)
