Common Questions and Answers about Diovan liver

diovan

378273 tn?1262097621 Both Diovan and Metopropolol can elevate liver enyzmes. The normal range for AST=SGOT, ALT=SGPT are 10 - 42. This is the range my doctor uses. Your just barely above the high end normal number. This is most likely due to your medicine, I would not be concerned with this small elevation. Just make sure you have liver test done periodically, to monitor any changes.
378273 tn?1262097621 Does anyone know if Warfarin can cause elevated liver enzymes. Blood tests showed mine were both 45, but the doctor is not concerned.

Avatar m tn I have high blood pressure and have been on medication for about 2 years now. I started taking Diovan 40 mg about 3 years ago, but my doctor thought it wasn't working so he increased it to 160 mg. After a while, I started feeling dizzy or light headed and We decided to cut down diovan to 80 mg. the dizziness went away for a few monts then it came back and was getting worse. I made a big mistake of stopping the Diovan all together.

1763947 tn?1334055319 Hello. I am 49. I was recently diagnosed as having early stage heart failure due to long term hypertension. An echo listed things the MUGA did not (concentric remodeling, global systolic dysfunction). The EF was 35-40. MUGa said that my EF was 38 and mentioned global hypokinesis. So I was put on Diovan. It's been a month, my systolic has dropped but my systolic hasn't budged. IT's always been 90-92.
