Could Elevated Liver Enzymes And Platelets(120)cause Itchiness?
I'm itching like something serious....both liver enzymes high and platlets 120 now what and could this be causing my itching? I am a 29yr old female with no hx of lots of over counter drug use and not more than average on drinking (in my opinion) and very very very tired.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Elevated levels of bile salts can cause itching all over the body, however, elevated levels of liver enzymes are not likely to cause itching.
Elevated number of platelets can also cause itching however, the platelet count is not very large so as to cause itching.
You need to consult your doctor for clinical assessment to find the cause of elevated liver enzymes and cause of itching.
Thanks and take care
