What Causes An Elevation In The Liver Enzymes After Removal Of The Gallbladder?
I had my gallbladder removed this past thanksgiving and 1) after three blood tests, my liver enzymes keep elevating. My dr. thinks it s due to my cholesterol meds, so I just stopped them and will know results from blood work on March 1. 2) I have what seems to be s swollen lymph node on my left collarbone. Any suggestions?

Hello,
It is important to know how much your liver enzymes have been elevated.
If it is elevated two folds than further workup needed.
Kindly mention you are using which medication.
For the swollen lymph node, you can wait for one week. If remain persistently enlarged than FNAC can be done for further work up to rule out nature of the lesion.
If FNAC shows reactive lymph node enlargement than no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
