A member asked:

Help! can anemia cause liver functions to be elevated?

Dr. Michael Dugan answered

Specializes in Hematology

No and yes: There is not a direct connection, but there are associations between these findings. In rbc destructive processes the liver numbers are elevated, and in alcoholic liver disease the patient is usually anemic.
