Question 1

my husband has elevated liver enzymes and an enlarged spleen. he was bitten by a tick about 4 yrs ago and was treated for lyme disease with a zpack.?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Not all tick bites cause lyme, but if he got lyme a z-pak is not adequate treatment so he likely has chronic lyme. Ticks can also transmit babesia, bartonella, rickettsia & other serious infections. These might be causing his problems & his problems might be unrelated to the bite. He needs a thorough medical evaluation including a doc knowledgeable about lyme & co-infections. See www.Ilads.Org.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

How do you feel?: 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 3

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?: 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 4

have enlarged spleen&liver;low liver enzymes;hypocholesterolemia;pain in left shoulder front&back;extreme fatigue.could liver disease cause this?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated.: From what you described, it is urgent that you go see your doctor for an evaluation.  You likely don't have liver disease, however you might have some other issue, like a blood disorder like leukemia/lymphoma that could be causing your symptoms of fatigue and your enlarged spleen and liver.  Your shoulder pain might be a separate issue, but it also could be part of this.  Again please see your dr.

Question 5

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

Liver disease: 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 6

elevated liver enzymes. what can cause this and what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Many causes.: Hepatitis, cancer, medicines, some hereditary conditions to name a few. However, it definitely needs follow-up. You need to see an internist for a proper evaluation.

Question 7

does elevated liver enzymes cause you to be tired all the time?

Accepted Answer

No: Elevated liver enzymes means your liver is undergoing damage.  That doesn't usually cause fatigue although the underlying condition causing the damage may also cause your fatigue.  For example some kind of hepatitis, too much alcohol, etc.  You should discuss this with your doctor, and if not already done get tested for viral hepatitis, esp. Hepatitis c.

Question 8

would elevated liver enzymes cause a fever?

Accepted Answer

No but the cause....: No.But the cause of the elevated enzymes, whether some inflammatory process, including infection, may trigger a febrile response.

Question 9

a female has pcos taking clomophen and tamoxifen and metformin has elevated liver enzymes what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Multiple reasons: It is possible that the metformin affected that. But...Many women with pcos have high insulins and sugars and this leads to chronic fatty liver which is the more common reason for those findings. An ultrasound of the liver would help.

Question 10

what can cause elevated liver enzymes and when should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol, meds, infxn: And early onset diabetes can all cause liver enzyme elevation as well as metastatic cancer. You need to worry when in the hundreds/thousands.
