A member asked:

What does it mean when liver proteins are high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not good...: Your transaminitis (elevated liver enzymes) indicates, albeit non-specifically, a sick liver. Whether this is transient (related to medication, alcohol ingestion, a passed gallstone, etc.), or is indeed of concern (e.g. Hepatitis of any cause, fatty liver secondary to diabetes, etc.) you deserve evaluation or at least a lab recheck to assess trends or resolution. No Tylenol (acetaminophen) or alcohol please 4now.
