Got Hit In Head. Did Blood Test. Liver, Kidney Enzymes, Potassium Level Were High. Causes And Treatment?

Hey, I just got back from the doctor. I originally went in because I was light headed after playing soccer and hitting my head on the post on Saturday. I went to the doctor after work on Monday. The doctor did blood work and my liver and kidney enzymes were above 250 and my potassium level was 6.4. My blood pressure was also pretty high. They sent me to the emergency room and I had to stay overnight. They made me drink something to get my potassium level down. The next day all my levels were normal except my liver. My liver enzymes were still at 69 or 89. Not exactly sure what they said. My light headedness has finally starting to go away. I had a ct scan and a sonogram done on me and they both came back good.They told me to come back and get it
checked in a month, but did not tell me the cause or anything. Any thoughts on what it could be or what I should do?

Thank You!

Hi! Thanks for your query. Well you have not given history eating and drinking habits. If you are consuming Beers and spend long time of fasting the liver enzymes may go up. Wait and watch and in case the liver enzymes are still high may need a Gastroenterologists opinion. Otherwise nothing to worry.
