1. AST, ALT, gama-GT and alcal phosphatise (AP) are enzyme markers for liver damage. If liver damage is present, you should also examine the liver for bilirubin (direct and indirect), and serological markers for hepatitis A, B and C (Anti-HAV, HBsAg and Anti-HCV). It seems that you completed the Anti-HBs serology requirement but you didn’t complete the HBs-Ag serology!
2. Alcal phospatase is also a marker for bone damaging- osteolysis.
3. Acid phosphatise and prostate specific antigen (PSA) are markers for prostate inflammation or tumor.
4. Blood lipase and alpha-amylase are markers for pancreatic damage.
You'll also need to request laboratory diagnostics for blood count and haemoglobin to exclude anemia. Finally, you may also need to perform a gastroscopy to exclude chronic gastritis as a possible diagnosis because gastric parietal cells antibodies have been detected. You can consult an internal medicine specialist about your condition.
