A member asked:

How can i tell if my liver enzymes are elevated from taking aspirin and not from alcohol use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Halt the injury: Liver enzyme elevation results from destruction of liver cells. Alcohol is a toxin that can severely damage the liver and stopping alcohol use will certainly reduce liver damage. A typical baby Aspirin should not have much impact on a previously healthy liver, but alcohol will.
