What Causes Elevated Liver Enzymes?

A few weeks ago I had diahrrhea and was vomiting for 2 days, passed out and was week. Went to the er with a severe headache I was severely dehydrated and my liver enzymes were really high and my kidneys were about shut down. I stayed over night and had lots of fluids. I went a week later for blood work follow up and my liver enzymes were still elevated, I go back tomorrow for follow up blood work. If my liver enzymes still aren t normal what could be the reason?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have diarrhea, vomiting and elevated liver enzymes. You may have some liver disease.

Any kind of liver damage can leads to elevation in liver enzymes.
Viral hepatitis, alcohol, drugs, toxin all can leads to these f symptoms.

You should go for complete liver function test including SGPT, SGOT, GGT, Alkaline phosphatase, Bilirubin and ultrasound abdomen.

It will give you exact idea about the cause. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
