What Causes Elevated Liver Enzyme Levels In A Child?
My grandson s liver enzymes are ~2x normal. He is 16 years old. He had a hit to his head (baseball) about 6 months ago. Suddenly, he was sick to his stomach a few nights ago. Then he started to feel very anxious about things. Are these related and what does it mean?

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern
Elevated liver enzyme that occurs acutely likely due to infections affecting the liver including hepatitis A, amoebiasis, typhoid etc, especially if he has recently been to tropics. Please be advised to follow up with your primary care provider to undergo screening for such infections.
