Posted on Sun, 26 Feb 2023
Question: My primary dr called me today to tell me my liver enzimes were high abt one or 2 whatever that means. I have a thyroid condition slow thyroid and my other dr told me 3 weeks ago to skip a pill every other week because it was slightly off. I take synthroid 100mcg, Prozac40 mg, bendryl50mg, Xanax .05 vitamin d 2 3x aweek , take for anemia 325 glutamate ferrous everyday and folic acid b12 b6 and lately for bursitis and sciatica Tylenol 500 but not everyday. just when pain is bad I am allergic to aspirin. allergic to almost every drug on the planet and food allergies. my lips swell and sometimes get rashes. I take benydrl everyday. I have most of my meds made in compounding drugstores one in XXXXXXX andtwo in ny. I have been getting quite a few cortisone shots 3 or 4 in two different parts of my body for sciatica they want to try epidural which I am afraid of but cant keep living in this pain. I read from mayo clinic what can happen. I don't drink at all. my mom died of cancer but her first cancer at 45 was ovaries and uterus. she lived 11 yrs and then 2nd cancer was in the liver. I am scared. the dr said last year when all blood was taken it was normal. I also just got over a terrible flu/virus of stomach with constant diarrhea I cldnt control bowels for 10 days. now better from that. he said to go for sonogram but cant get paper to me to go till maybe fri as closed today thurs. then he wanted me to go to see a specialist. he told me don't get scared but I am. also when they make the drugs in compounding pharmacy they use sodium dioxide with just the drug. cld that be a problem?


hardly any antibiotics. I have multiple chemical sensitivity. allergic to foods and chemicals and outside chemicals. I use generation 7 to clean with. have this since 1994.

Brief Answer:
High liver enzymes may not be serious all time

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

I went through the details and found that you are too scared for common problem that many people have. Low thyroid, steroid shots, stomach flu and anemia all have triggered an unnecessary fear in you. I see a lot many patients in my clinic with such problems. I reassure them that they get better only if they leave fear. You should not be fearful about new lab tests. Liver enzymes can increase 2x or 3x if you hve multiple medications esp for chronic conditions. Liver has a greater job to do to use them or eliminate these excess medications from the body, hence the enzymes are released in excess to beat them. So do not worry about high liver enzymes.
take medications on time. Compounding could have caused few problems but talking to your primary physician and reducing the doses or removing unnecessary medicines would solve the issue or reverse the issue.
Hope I am clear.
