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.
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.
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!!
