Hi and thank you so much for this query

I am so sorry to hear about these high enzymes in your liver. The doctor would do a complete liver panel and also progressive tests like hepatitis serology, ultrasound, Antinuclear antibodies, etc to establish the cause of this increased in liver enzymes for effective management. If no answer is gotten fro the tests, then a biopsy would be needed as last resort to identify the cause. I think your doctor is on the right track, Work with him and get the problem looked into.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
