Avatar n tn I have seen a psychiatrist and a psychologist in the same practice for years. They communicate with each other. I have been treated fo Bipolar II disorder with Lamictal for years, so I know it does not affect my liver enzymes. I have tried quite a number a AD for Magior Depression. They didn't work and/or elevated liver enzymes.
Avatar f tn One of the most common causes of elevated liver enzymes is medications. Over-the-counter meds like Tylenol and NSAIDs like Ibuprofen and Naproxen Sodium can also cause elevated liver enzymes. Statins taken for cholesterol often cause elevated liver enzymes and also some common antibiotics. Exposure to certain toxins in the home or workplace can be the cause also.

Avatar n tn I know this because my sister to is over weight and suffers from elevated liver enzymes. She went on a strict diet and it helped her condition and to loose weight. Her liver enzymes at times were very high (over 300). She was later diagnosed with insulin resistance.
Avatar f tn But it must be emphasized that higher-than-normal levels of these liver enzymes should not be automatically equated with liver disease. They may mean liver problems or they may not. The interpretation of elevated AST and ALT levels depends upon the whole clinical picture and so it is best done by doctors experienced in evaluating liver disease. The precise levels of these enzymes do not correlate well with the extent of liver damage or the prognosis (outlook).
Avatar n tn My alt and ast were slightly elevated in the early part of last year i am talking only in the 40 and 50 mark redid blood work six months later my alt was 346 and my ast 234 i was sent straight to a hepatologist with lots of lab work, biopsy, and catscam found out i had Hep c, geno type 1a, stage 0-2. Started treatment in April of this year after 12 weeks i am undetectable but remain in treatment for the rest of the 48 weeks.
1445110 tn?1388209711 Has anyone here ever had trouble with elevated liver enzymes? I ended up in the ER last night with right side pain. I had my gallbladder out in may. The dr. said my liver enzymes were elevated but didnt seem worried about it. Anyway the reason i am asking although it sounds like a gastro question is that ive been looking around and it says that hypothyroidism can cause that to happen. I was just wondering if anyone else on here has had that happen to them.
Avatar n tn After losing about 25 pounds and trying to live a more healthy lifestyle a routine blood test showed elevated enzymes and 4 weeks later elevated more to 4 times the normal ranges. When my family doctor discusses this with me he refers to my condition as "having the Hepatitis C antibody". I had a blood transfusion in 1970 following childbirth. Should I be concerned?
Avatar f tn So, my doctor just got the results of my blood tests, and apparently I have underactive thyroid, and three times the normal liver enzymes. I couldn't ask him a lot of questions and it will take a few days before I can go and see him, but I have a lot of questions that just won't stop bugging me. For instance, one of the symptoms that bothers me the most is that I keep having hot flashes a lot. But shouldn't it be the opposite with hypothyroidism?
Avatar f tn Stopping the drug frequently results in normalization of liver enzymes. And occasionally changing to a different statin solves the problem of elevated liver enzymes while maintaining an improved cholesterol level.

8170270 tn?1413845335 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's this last December and have been on Synthroid 25 mcg since. I've gone in several times to have the levels checked Because I'm still not feeling well (fatigue, sleepless, brain fog, itchy irritated skin, joint pain etc) while my thyroid function came back within normal range I had "concerning" elevated liver enzymes and am getting an ultrasound. My question is are liver issues and Hashimoto's related? Is this typical?
Avatar f tn Is my liver becoming disease? Since I have a fatty liver due to diet, does the elevated liver enzymes mean nothing and though for the past year they have continued to rise, should I ever be concerned. Pleae advise.
Avatar n tn Sectral, coumadin, or lovenox are associated with elevated liver enzymes. Niasan (Niaspan) and tarka (verapamil) can increased liver enzymes. I really can't advise you on stopping medications, you should talk to your doctors about that one but niacin and verapamil can increase liver enzymes and are worth asking your doctor about. I hope this helps.
