What Does Elevated Liver Enzymes And Elevated Protein In Urine Indicate?
I have Multiple Sclerosis. I recently had a severe UTI, that spread to the kidney. Tests revealed protein in my urine, and blood work showed eleveated liver enzymes. An ultrasound of my abdomen was done but I don t have results. Is it likely there are 2 issues going on, or could one problem cause both abnormal results?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. Urinary tract infection spreading to the kidneys are related. This condition is called pyelonephritis. You would respond to appropriate course of antibiotics.
Elevated liver enzymes may not be related, unless we are considering a diagnosis of sepsis, where the infection spreads to blood and to all organs, including liver.
In your case, elevated liver enzymes could be a side effect of a medication you are on. Please discuss this with your herpetologist/gastroenterologist.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
