Question 4

if you drink a moderate amount of alcohol (3) the day before bloodworm will you be likely to show results that are high liver enzymes?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol and liver: Yes you may.  There is one liver enzyme in particular that is quite sensitive to alcohol, the ggtp. The 2 major other enzymes, the ast and the alt, are less sensitive to brief alcohol intake, but understand that 3 drinks is considered to be above normal. If you were taking in 3 drinks daily for a few days preceding the test, the results might well be elevated.

Question 5

how much/little protein should a person eat if they have high liver enzymes? i don't drink it's from old meds. trying to lower them fast

Accepted Answer

Not the key : I trust you do not drink. We need to rule out hepatitis B and C, hemochromatosis, Wilson's, and autoimmune hepatitis. That being done, this may be a genetically-predisposed liver's way of asking for more aerobic exercise. Best wishes.

Accepted Answer

: Loose ends. Your liver enzymes were not very high, ALT was moderately elevated. Further surveillance imaging and liver enzymes will be needed in order to understand if long term effects or previous liver condition progressing. If you still have symptoms, they may not be related to the elevated ALT and further work up might be needed.

Question 9

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 10

Accepted Answer

Yes: Elevated lfts with a predominant rise in alp is suggestive of damage or obstruction of the biliary tree (which disrupts the flow of bile out of the liver, called cholestasis). There are a number of conditions that can cause this, including a stone in the common bile duct (choledocholithiasis), cancer of the head of the pancreas, primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cirrhosis.
