What Could Be The Cause Of Elevated Liver Enzymes And D-Dimer?
I am a 30 year old female with elevated liver enzymes and elevated D-Dimer. I went to the ER about a month ago for chest pain. I had been having it for 5 days and was really scared. They did a D-Dimer test on me and the result was elevated, therefore I was checked for a pulmonary embolizm which was negative. I'm wondering why these results were elevated, I got no answers from the ER physican (except it was probably GERD) and no answers from my primary care physican. Since pregnancy I've suffered from chronic pain, weakness, and migraines. I'm exhausted from the pain and I don't know what to do. Because I'm young, every doctor I go to just blows me off. Please help!

Thank you posting your query.
it maybe a false-positive result (D-dimer). maybe sampling error for the elevated liver enzymes.
i advice re-evaluation.
kindly repeat following test:
1. CBC (complete blood cell count)
2. Liver Function Test
3. Clotting Profile (PT, aPTT, D-dimer)
4. H.Pylori (Stool antigen test or urea breath test)
Then you may post the test reults to me OR any gastroenterologist@HCM OR visit your treating physician.
