How Can Elevated Liver Enzymes Be Treated?

Hi I m 29 years old I had some lab work done recently and it shows I have elevated liver enzymes Dr said the numbers showing are a bit high. About a year ago I had alopecia areata got steroid shots hair grew back and I ve had my gullblader removed that time I was admitted because one of the stones made its way out and turned out I also had pancreatitis and my liver was swollen but this was 6 years ago. Lately I ve been feeling full when I eat very uncomfortable. I m scared my uncle just passed away from liver cancer

Hi,

Yes, you need to concern as the direct bilirubin level has raised along with SGOT and SGPT. This may be due to insult to the liver.

The cause may be lipid-lowering drug or any infection. Get checked for HAV, HBsAg and urine urobilinogen and urine bilirubin once. Abdomen scanning is required.

Since the enzymes are slightly raised with good nutrition and avoiding fatty food and removing any insult to the liver will get back the values to normal. No extra medications are required for now. So get back with the reports for further discussion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
