A member asked:

What is the meaning "abnormal hepatic level"?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not standard term: Perhaps you mean elevated liver function tests / increased levels of the transaminases in the blood. This is common and always worth seeking an explanation for -- anything from beer to Motrin to not exercising to a hepatitis viral infection to wilson's to hemochromatosis to autoimmune hepatitis to drug allergy. Good luck.
