A member asked:
Took a blood test after a 5-day trip involving excessive alcohol. liver enzymes came back elevated. could the drinking prior have influenced results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Would recommend repeating test looking for normalization in few weeks and after abstaining from alcohol at least 2 weeks prior. If still elevated will need further workup.
