A member asked:
Mirtazapine-elevated liver enzymes. does drug induced elevated liver enzymes mean permanent liver damage?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Drug-induced LFT: No. Usually drug-induced elevated liver enzyme (lft) is reversible when the offending drug is removed. Of note, drug-induced elevated lft can be very high. Ensure to rule out other causes of elevated lft such as hepatitis.

Not usually : Drug-induced elevation in liver chemistries typically resolves once the offending drug is removed.
