What Causes Elevated Liver Enzymes?

Hi, I am a 33 year old female, married with two kids, 6 and 9. I have only had sexual intercourse with my husband and one other boy in high school. I have never done illegal drugs. I do drink about once a week. My liver enzymes are very elevated and my BUN is just slightly higher than normal.

hi.

noted history of elevated liver enzymes and BUN levels. it is best if you consult with a doctor for physical examination and clinical evaluation. you may have a fatty liver or chronic alcohol intake, hence, elevation of liver enzymes. infective and obstructive causes must be ruled-out. for your BUN levels, your kidneys must be evaluated as well. kidney or ureteral stones must be ruled-out. diagnostics (such as abdominal ultrasound, blood counts, urinalysis, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. low fat, low salt diet is also recommended.

hope this helps.

good day!!
