A member asked:
A female has pcos taking clomophen and tamoxifen and metformin has elevated liver enzymes what is the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple reasons: It is possible that the metformin affected that. But...Many women with pcos have high insulins and sugars and this leads to chronic fatty liver which is the more common reason for those findings. An ultrasound of the liver would help.
