What are some of the reasons for elevated enzymes in the liver?
17 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Liver enzymes: Many things can elevate liver enzymes: infection like hepatitis, inflammation from too much alcohol, medications (many meds are metabolized by the liver & thus have potential to cause irritation & enzyme elevation), tumors, & more. If your enzymes are elevated, you doc will seek out the cause to correct the problem.

Alcohol, hepatitis: Elevated liver enzymes in blood are due to injury to liver cells. Two common reasons are use of alcohol and viral hepatitis. There is a long list of other causes, e.g., side effects of drugs, biliary obstruction, cancer in the liver, liver inflammation due to agents other than hepatitis viruses.
