A member asked:
What happens if you have elevated liver enzymes will that make excess bile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Elevated liver enzymes are not a good thing. These indicate liver injury. If you drink alcohol, stop entirely for 3-4 months before repeating the test. Please note that all lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is in the best position to do that.
