What Causes Elevation In The Liver Enzymes?
for sometime now, I feeling tired and like lost of power. I went to the GP and he perscribed a full blood check. everything was fine, only a litter/minor elevation in the lever enzymes, which he described as nothing and I need to do some little exercise.
However, for like over 5 months, I'm very tired and even carrying the 5 gallons water bottle is like a lot of work.
When I get back from work and when I wake up in the morning, I'm like beaten up, although I sleep like 6-8 hours, and fully compensate during weekends.
I'm worried that these are introduction to something serious. I'm 35 now.
Can you please advise.

Thank you for posting your query.
presentation of "mild" cute hepatitis.
acute liver injury is "reversible".
increase in the level of liver enzymes(AST,ALT) reflect an INJURY to the Liver. medically, the condition is know as "Hepatitis". it maybe caused by:
1. Virus (A, B, C, D, E) 2. Alcohol
3. "drug induced (medication)"
4. Gall bladder or common bile duct pathology
5."Fat excess"
did you get test results for for HBsAg, anti HCV, Anti HAV, Lipid profile.?
HAV is a common cause of acute hepatitis and self limited.
Patient recovers in 3 to 6 weeks (enzyme return to normal).
after obtaining results of aforementioned tests, post here or visit treating physician.
meanwhile:
advice:
- abstinence from "Alcohol and drugs"
- Low fat diet should be followed for one week
- NO red meat
- vegetables should be ingested daily
- Moreover, less activity should be carried out (no sports), REST more.
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- walk 40minutes daily and loose weight if overweight
