What Causes Elevation Of Liver Enzymes And Pain In Left Side Of Kidney?
Last week I had severe,,gripping pain over the left kidney area. Unfortunately i was out of town, and being a RN, i monitored my symptoms carefully. Weh I came back i went to my internist, he has ordered a CT scan tomorrow. my blood work came back with elevated liver enzymes, and u/a had trace blood. Could liver enzymes be elevated with kidney stone?

Hi there,
Kidney stones shouldn't have any effect on your liver enzymes at all.
Gallbladder stones can sometimes get stuck in the common bile duct, and then cause elevated liver enzymes, but this is not considered a kidney stones.
Kidney stones will cause blood in the urine, pain in the flank areas, and sometimes fevers and chills, but shouldn't have any effect on liver enzymes.
I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.
