A member asked:

What is all the ammonia levels and enzyme levels regarding liver disease mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Liver damage: The liver can be damaged from some medications, excess alcohol intake, hepatitis virus, cancer, etc. Blood tests can detect liver injury by measuring elevated liver enzymes in the blood or elevated ammonia level in the blood. Rising blood levels indicate ongoing liver inflammation or damage.
