Question 1

does your liver enzymes go up with  a kidney stone?

Accepted Answer

Not typically: If the kidney stone is associated with a urinary tract infection, especially if severe this can make the liver enzymes go up, as can a number of medicines, but the stone itself does not typically do so.

Question 2

liver enzymes normal history kidney stones pain right side why ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Easy and safe: Ultrasound is very safe and easy, and it can tell you if there is something wrong with your kidney (stone, dilated collecting system, etc).  It can also look at the liver, if needed, at the same time.  It is an excellent first step to visualize a problem.  If you get an answer, you're done, and you don't have to go through a ct, mri, etc.

Question 3

ruled out appendicitis and kidney stones. right side stomach pain and side pain almost leading to back. this pain comes a goes. dull pain. a while back i remember my liver enzymes were elevated but no symptoms . is this possible liver disease ?

Accepted Answer

Many things possible: If a teen guy has uncomfortable right tummy pain and is normally in good health, some possibilities include:  sports trauma, appendicitis (usually has fever), liver problems, gall stones, kidney problems, excessive constipation, stomach flu, bowel inflammation, intestinal infection, nerve irritation, spine issue, rare tumor, etc...  Doctor can follow up and recheck as needed.

Question 4

there was a slightly hyperechoic focus in the lower pole of left kidney, may represent normal cortical lobulation, however underlying lesion can not be ruled out. all else normal, mildly elevated liver enzymes , am i freaking out for no reason?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety : I would suggest that you are unduly worried and that if anything else was required your physician will take care of it. Good Luck

Question 5

blood test results showed elevated liver enzymes and elevated kidney function. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Need for evaluation: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking a history, physical examination, looking at the actual lab results and may be additional studies. Lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is in the best position to do that.

Question 6

hida -ef at 31, endoscopic us showed a stone in  cystic duct, elevated liver enzymes, & nausea.  surgeon suggested surgery & ic.  can stone be removed?

Accepted Answer

Cystic duct: The stone needs to come out or you risk a serious infection, developing. Laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder and the duct may be possible and has a shorter recovery. Your surgeon can advise you on this issue.

Question 7

does flu cause elevated liver enzymes?

Accepted Answer

May: Flu is a non-specific term and "flu-like" symptoms can occur due to many viral infections, e.g. Cmv, ebv and these viruses can induce liver cell injury and elevate liver enzymes.

Question 8

can anorexia cause elevated liver enzymes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is quite common.

Question 9

what std besides hepatitis can cause elevated liver enzymes?

Accepted Answer

See below: Almost any infection can raise liver enzymes. In addition to hepatitis, infections with Epstein Barr virus, CMV, HIV and even common cold could raise liver enzymes.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
 Wish you good health!

Question 10

can vyvanse (30mg) cause elevated liver enzymes? ast at 84 and alt at 162?

Accepted Answer

: It's stated that high doses for prolonged period of time can, but you're dose isn't high. Have you had a complete liver panel,cbc&amp;diff,,monotest and a viral hepatitis panel performed? Any alcohol excess or taking other meds &amp; supplements? A liver ultrasound will also look for liver pathology. I recommend consulting a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for evaluation, appropriate testing&amp; follow-up
