A member asked:

My mom was diagnosed with elevated liver enzymes, and she wants to know how to ease it,and how to prevent it from coming back. she's 55yrs old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Find cause: Hopefully Mom got these repeated off alcohol, painkillers, and any meds she doesn't truly need. If still up, checks for hepatitis C and B, and Wilson's and hemochromatosis and autoimmune hepatitis, are all in order. This may simply be a way that her liver, with her genetic profile, asks for more exercise. Best wishes.
