Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Elevated Liver Enzymes And Low Vitamin D Related?
I have a slightly elevated liver enzymes, very low vitamin d. My thyroid checks out fine. im fatigued, hair loss, dry skin. I also had a vaginal biopsy and they found hyperplasia . Is the liver enzymes and low vitamin d related. the doctor said not to worry about the liver enzymes. she put me on 50,000 units of vitamin d.
Liver enzymes might be elevated due to disease and this can lead to reduced synthesis of vitamin D. It will help to know by how much your liver enzymes are raised and then treat any condition that is causing it.
Since the doctor has told not to worry therefore I think the liver enzymes are not very high to cause a concern. However you might have vitamin D deficiency and this requires you to take supplement. The pap smear showing hyperplasia requires discussion with the pathologist. Hyperplasia itself does not indicate cancer but might be a precancerous stage. You might vitamin D for now. Please do not worry.
