Suggest Remedy For Raised Liver Enzymes

After receiving my yearly bloodwork, it showed a raise in liver enzymes. I went for a sono last week and it came back saying there is a lesion; now awating a call for a Cat. Enzymes were about triple, am on Lipitor, drink about once a week 4-5 drinks usually on a Friday. No pain, recently lost about 20 lbs (the right way, over a period of about six months). I am concerned. not sure what lesions mean

Hello

Raised liver enzymes may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.

It may be due to alcohol intake in your case.

As there is a lesion detected during ultrasound,you are rightly advised for CT scan for further evaluation.

Besides this you may need few other investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,viral markers.
You may need ursodeoxycholic acid tablet.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.

You may need few more medicines after full investigations.
You should avoid drinking completely.

Get well soon.
Take Care
