Elevated lfts. liver ultrasound says homogenous coarse echotexture. been on crestor (rosuvastatin) for 1 yr+ lfts normal before crestor (rosuvastatin). is this a cause to worry?

Stop the statin: Statin drugs for high cholesterol frequently cause abnormal liver function tests. You should stop Crestor (rosuvastatin) and check whether or not the liver tests return to normal. If they do, you might be able to use a different statin. If they don't, you need to check for other causes of abnormal liver function.
