liver symptoms

what would make your liver enzymes be low?

[CalGal]

There can be multiple causes, including medications and sometimes it's specific to certain enzymes being low, so it's hard to generalize. An an example, a low B.U.N., or Blood Urea Nitrogen can be due to poor diet, malabsorption, or liver damage. A lowered creatinine level may result from kidney damage, protein deficiency, pregnancy or liver disease. From what I understand the 'general' reasons for decreased liver enzymes include the following: malabsorption, poor diet, diet low in foods with nitrogen, fever, diarrhea, infection, inadequate iron intake, severe burns, low calcium, protein and other vitamin deficiencies, pregnancy, malnutrition, hypothyroidism, adrenal problems, kidney disease or damage, excessive fat digestion, and - of course - liver disease.

Given these possibilities you need to go back to your doc and figure out what the possible cause could be.
