What Causes High Liver Enzymes?

My 12 year old son had blood work done and his liver enzymes were extremely high could the medication he takes be a factor? He is on vyvanse 60 mg, risperdone 0.5 mg and trazodone 50 mg. his Dr. has just referred him to a specialist as of today. If not the medication, what are some of the reasons why his liver enzymes might be so high?

Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

These medications have no reported common side effect of liver enzymes derangements. He might have contracted some acute liver viral infection. He needs an immediate consultation from a gastroenterologist. Sometimes fulminant hepatitis in this age group leads to fatal consequences.
