Why Would Liver Enzymes Be Elevated In the Bloodwork? Posted: 09-10-04 16:43pm
Help!! I'm a little nervous. My liver
enzymes are elevated and it's scaring me
to death. I had a sonogram done of the
abdomen and bloodwork done 3 times. Any
suggestions as to what it may be or what
they're looking for? I've been having
some spells the last couple of years, but
they told me it was panic attacks. Which
it could have been. But also sometimes
when this happens I eat something sweet
(sugar) and it goes away in 20 minutes.
But my sugar is not low. Like 105. I
was taking zoloft and it helped. Now the
Dr. Wants me to stop for a while. I
guess to see if it might be the medicine.
Any info for me?

Liver enzymes can be elevated for a number
of reasons - some of them very benign
(i.E., increased usage of ibuprofen, etc).
This is because everything passes thru
the liver. Was anything else elevated,
like ast, sgot, etc? If so, that may be
why they are doing additional tests.
