What Causes Elevated Liver Enzymes?
Hi I have been told that my cholesterol is at 7 and certain liver enzymes are raised! I am 50 woman,run marathons and did my first triathlon in August! I am a little shocked more at the raised enzymes then cholesterol as it s always been high ish! I eat well but all of last year even training I had a lot going on with my mum passing away,I was aware I was indulging at weekends in too much wine but have I damaged my liver? I am scared now.. Smallish build and normal weight? I have also had a lot of injuries this year muscular mostly.. Thanks
