A member asked:

Why could cause your blood work to come back with a high liver enzyme?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Many things: Medicines, hepatitis, cancer, certain hereditary diseases to name a few. If you have elevated liver enzymes you definitely need to be evaluated by an internist.
