A member asked:

Can liver disease cause cholesterol to go high? a year ago, mine was very low, now it is very high. liver values (ast) slightly elevated for 1st time

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No. : Elevated cholesterol levels as a part of metabolic syndrome can be associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), opposed to liver disease causing elevated cholesterol levels. In fact, patients with advanced liver disease may actually have lower cholesterol levels.
