There are many reasons for elevated enzymes...and I'm assuming you mean liver enzymes. Has she been diagnosed with Hepatitis C? Is she on any new medications, either OTC, Rx or supplements? Hopefully her Dr. is followong up on this...........

Best of luck, Pam

Diabetes can also cause elevated liver enzymes, but usually not that high.
