Question 1

If i had elevated liver enzymes and enlarged spleen due to mononucleosis, how long do i need to wait to drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

You'll know when you're ready because you'll feel fully recovered. I hope you're not in any hurry, and that for the rest of your life you'll drink sensibly.

Question 2

Platelet count 679 enlarged spleen elevated liver enzymes fatigue unintended weight loss-43 lbs in 3 months liver biopsy shows nothing...help me pls?

Accepted Answer

How long have your platelets been elevated?  Any lymph nodes felt?  Is your white blood count elevated?  A lot of missing information.  Any night sweats?  Given your age, certain things can be ruled out but would consider doing a bone marrow biopsy.  Why did you have a liver biopsy if spleen big?  Was there a concern for cirrhosis?  Need more information.  I wish i could help more.

Question 3

My lab results show low white blood cell count & liver enzymes over 1000. found out i have enlarged spleen and cholecystitis. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Cholesystitis doesn't usually cause a low white count, enlarged spleen and severe elevation of liver enzymes. Chronic hepatitis is suggested. It could be viral or autoimmune. A gastroenterologist should be involved in your care, and an abdominal surgeon should be consulted about the inflammation of the gall bladder which may be chronic rather than acute.

Question 4

What can elevated liver enzymes mean in a newborn besides liver disease?

Accepted Answer

For liver enzymes to get elevated you  need to have inflamation in the liver, so anything that does that can increase the liver enzymes including infections, congenital abnormalities. You should talk to the newborn's pediatrician for a clearer answer, as he/she will know ur newborn better..

Question 5

Can thyroid disease cause elevated liver enzymes?

Accepted Answer

Hyperthyroidism can lead to elevated liver enzymes which will resolve and become normal then hyperthyroidism ( overactive thyroid) is treated.

Question 6

Is low functioning gallbladder with elevated liver enzymes of ast 77 alt 142 contributed by a underlying disease? if so what diseases?

Accepted Answer

All of the information you have given is compatible with gallbladder diseaase also. There could be other problems but do not have enough information to answer that question further.

Question 7

Low haptoglobin 0.24g/l with chronic elevated liver enzymes alt of 100 ast of 55.asymptomatic full neg- workup for all liver diseases in a 24 year old?

Accepted Answer

You need to continue follow-up with your doctor. Pathology may emerge over time, but many patients have slightly elevated lft's like yours, that never amount to any problem. In many cases, fatty infiltration of the liver is identified by ultrasound, and does not progress to actual liver disease.

Question 8

Is it possible to have mildly elevated liver enzymes and some small spots on your liver during an ultrasound and have the two findings be totally unrelated? could you have non alcoholic fatty liver disease and cysts or something similar?

Accepted Answer

This is in fact common.  Both liver cysts and liver enzyme abnormalities are very common.  Therefore the overlap of those two is also common.  It would be unlikely that a cyst alone would be responsible for liver enzyme elevations.

Question 9

Mildly elevated liver enzymes 2 - 4 x upper limit 60% of tests for 3 years. now liver enlarged on ultrasound. episodes of edema and fevers. what now?

Accepted Answer

Hi, the tests and the clinical symptoms that you describe warrant further work up by an experienced hepatologist. The possibilities are too numerous to discuss in the current setting. The main crux of the w/u would be to assess if the damage to the liver is not irreversible(cirrhosis); find the underlying cause to treat it. A liver biopsy may be indicated if all tests are neg. Hope this helps.

Question 10

Had mono over the summer. spleen was swollen & high liver enzymes. im in college and a few days after drinking it feels like my spleen hurts. ideas?

Accepted Answer

Spleen in involvement usually resolves after 4-6 weeks, also drinking should not affect your spleen.  Perhaps your stomach is what may be hurting? It is in the same area of your abdomen.
