A member asked:
Are there benign causes of elevated liver enzymes in teenagers?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: It is very common for liver enzymes to go up transiently, especialy in children. Something as simple as a viral bug or a growth spurt can do this. Typically these resolve in 4-6 weeks. Persistantly elevated enzymes should be worked up.

Which enzymes?: Agree with Dr. N. Alkaline phosphatase, a liver enzyme, has normally higher values on growing children.
