A member asked:
What are high liver enzymes?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Transaminases: Usually, elevated liver enzymes mean elevated sgot/ast and sgpt/alt, less often alkaline phosphatase and its kindred. These are released from injured (not necessarily dead) liver cells in a host of illnesses, several of which will kill you if they're missed.

See doctor: If you have high liver enzymes and more importantly if it is persistent, you need to see a physician for further evaluation and testing.
