Blood sugar high liver enzymes
Common Questions and Answers about Blood sugar high liver enzymes
blood-sugar
If you are not overweight, it is still most likely caused by poor diet (high fat and high sugar diets especially). Insulin resistance and diabetes can also make you prone to fatty liver and nash
If fatty liver progresses it is called nash (Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis), this means you that you not only have a greasy fatty liver, but you have larger deposits of fat in your liver and this can lead to serious liver disease and cirrhosis if you do not take care of yourself.
2 years ago I was told I had Hep c, I went thru tx and cleared the virus, At the time my husband had blood work done and was told he tested negative for the hep c enzyme? He just had a phyical done and his liver enzymes are high.. so now they are running a hep c test. I am so upset and am really having some bad flash backs. I
I am so confused, what test did they do that would come back negative for hep c enzymes and what are the odds that he could have been postive?
My husband and I just came from the doctor office, and she told us that his liver enzymes are high. But the good news is that his blood sugar is ok and he does not have hepatitis A, B, and C.
Today he repeat the blood work to make sure the results and in the end of the week he will do an ultrasound of his liver.
What do you guys think about his situation? What could be it? Heart problem??
By the way, he is overweight right now (28 yrs old)!
Thanks!

I recently took a blood test and my Liver enzymes (AST and ALT) came back extremely high. I went to get an Ultrasound completed so that we could figure it the issue. According to the radiologist my liver looks normal. I eat healthy and I workout everyday I take a multivitamin, fish oil, and a probiotic daily.
I presume liver enzymes means transaminases. A level of 45 is not really high enough to cause concern. Blood sugar and HbA1c is normal and so is platelets.
However, the ESR is high. This indicates a chronic inflammation usually due to tuberculosis, cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, infective endocarditis, etc. Do discuss this with your mother’s doctor. Take care!

in March I blood tests because of urinary infection my liver enzymes were a bit high. I know that I had some sort of a flu, maybe viral. WBC were all high.
I also had some freak yellowish stool. it looked nothing like colitis or digestion problems.
can you specify which blood tests you have been taking and which values are out of range and why they said you have Diabetes type 2.
I have had Hep C for a long time. My liver enzymes went sky high last year. I started working on a regimen of herbs and diet improvement and they went back to normal this year. Then, I did some backpacking trips this Summer and now they are sky high again. I was unaware that strenuous exercise could cause this to happen. Can someone explain why strenuous exercise causes liver inflammation to occur?
I did a little research and found out that elevated liver enzymes can be due to a fatty liver because of obesity. I also did research on hepatitis and found out that you get hepatitis mainly from sexual activity, blood, and using needles to do drugs. I've never been in contact with anyones blood, never used drugs, and I recently lost my virginity so my elevated liver enzymes from a year ago couldn't be caused by hepatitis I could've gotten from my partner.
I had a partial nephrectomy in 2011 to remove a cancerous tumor. Since then I've been battling nerve damage in my right leg. It has taken 2 years to get the correct cocktail of medications that have allowed me to return to work. I've recently been experiencing some issues, 2 days ago my feet and calves were so swollen I had to go to the ER, they did a cardiovascular ultrasound and there was not a blood clot.
Anyways, been feeling off lately, so went to take a blood test. Doc said i have viral infection in my liver and also high cholesterol. Please see below for my concerns- I'm not sure what all my results mean, and was hoping could get a second opinion:
-my white cell count is lower at 3.9 (normal is 4-11), and so is my lymphocytes is at 1.07 (normal is 1.5-4)- is this something to be worried about?
-total protein is higher than normal at 8.4 (normal is 6.0-8.
Hi,
I understand your concern regarding this and increased liver enzymes do not necessarily suggest damage to the liver. There are many causes of elevated liver enzymes such as inflammation, infection, as well as certain medicines. A repeat test may indeed be done to confirm the result and depending on the result, additional diagnostic tests may be done. Take care and do keep us posted.
Elevated liver enzymes, and other indicators of liver functions, such as bilirubin, can change or be elevated for numerous reasons, from an infection, to some blocked ductwork and everything in between.
The goal should not be to lower the values per se, but to find out WHY they aren't normal to begin with. If the underlying cause can be addressed, the levels should return to normal I would think.
Liver enzymes are very sensitive and can elevate for both temporary insignificant health issues or be an indicator of a significant health condition. High levels of AST alone do not suggest liver disease; a notable exception is Wilson's disease (rare).
Besides an elevated ALT, your other labs are within normal range. Liver enzyme levels must be used with other blood tests, examination, and medical history.
Cholesterol lowering drugs - statins - can sometimes cause elevated liver enzymes so it is wise to have a baseline level for your liver enzymes before starting statin therapy.
I wouldn't be worried about the sonogram of your liver. As you know it's a non-invasive test and it's good protocol to have this done when you have elevated liver enzymes. I will give you one piece of advice however about undergoing the procedure.
