A member asked:

How much/little protein should a person eat if they have high liver enzymes? i don't drink it's from old meds. trying to lower them fast

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not the key : I trust you do not drink. We need to rule out hepatitis B and C, hemochromatosis, Wilson's, and autoimmune hepatitis. That being done, this may be a genetically-predisposed liver's way of asking for more aerobic exercise. Best wishes.
