What causes liver enzymes to be elevated in fatty liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Damage to liver: Microvesicular fatty infiltration of hepatocytes (liver cells) is directly toxic to the liver. When liver cells are damaged or destroyed, they release their enzymes (ast, alt) into the bloodstream.
