Can Light Case Of Shingles Cause High Liver Enzymes?
My blood tests have come back with high liver enzymes. I take several cholestrol medications so I think that could be the problem. Could a light case of shingles cause high liver enzymes? My gastroenerologist is ordering liverscan and more blood work. I am in between cardiologists and will see him later this month. But I am curious about the shingles and liver enzymes.
