What Does Elevated Enzyme In Liver Mean?
I just had a body scan today. I am a 60 yr old female. I had to have an injection and wait a couple of hours come back and have the scan. I ttook about a half hour. The results won't be ready for a week. I had an elevated enzyme in my liver from blood work done. What could be wrong with me?

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.
First of all elevated liver enzymes can simply be due to fatty liver.USG and serum cholesterol estimation done for it.
If you have fever, abdominal pain and bodyache Like picture hepatitis ruled out by serum viral markers.
Elevated liver enzymes can be by excess alcohol drink.It can lead fatty liver, cirrhosis like damage.For cirrhosis USG and serum albumin useful.
If you have history of heart problem or muscular problems then also enzymes can get elevated.
I hope your concern solved.You have done scan let's see what comes.
Take care.
