Very elevated liver function tests while in the hospital for ketoacidosis. i am a t1 diabetic. have been tested heb a b and c. possible reasons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liver enzyme: One possible reason is hepatic steatosis, which can be transient due to the underlying metabolic derrangements. I would monitor them daily and if the trend is higher I would consider other possibilities including auto-immune hepatitis
