Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Can you please upload the full report of your liver function test? I need to analyze the numbers myself before running into final conclusions?
If you are referring for liver transaminases, when we found them slightly elevated, would look for other parameters like bilirubin, total protein, etc. to understand if liver function is really altered.
Usually, slight elevations are not problematic unless clinical symptoms are present.
There are various factors interfering with liver function test:
- drinking alcohol
- medications you might use
- genetics
- fatty liver
- obesity
- sedentary life
- exposure to chemicals
Hope it was of help!
