Hi and welcome to the hepatitis c community.

Do you have hepatitis c? erythema nodosum can be caused bu many conditions.

http://www.medicinenet.com/erythema_nodosum/page2.htm#what_are_the_signs_and_symptoms_of_erythema_nodosum

What causes erythema nodosum?

Erythema nodosum may occur as an isolated condition or in association with other conditions. Conditions that are associated with erythema nodosum include medications (sulfa-related drugs, birth control pills, and estrogens), strep throat, Cat scratch disease, fungal diseases, infectious mononucleosis, sarcoidosis, Behcet's disease, inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), and normal pregnancy


How is erythema nodosum treated?

Erythema nodosum is initially managed by identifying and treating any underlying condition present. Simultaneously, treatment is directed toward the inflamed skin from the erythema nodosum.

Treatments for erythema nodosum include anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroids by mouth or local injection. Colchicine is sometimes used to reduce inflammation. Treatment must be customized for the particular patient and conditions present, such as the existence of any associated diseases. It is important to note that erythema nodosum, while annoying and often painful, does not threaten internal organs and the long-term outlook is generally very good.

Are you seeing a doctor for erythema nodosum?

If you don't have hep c you may want to ask about erythema nodosum in the Dermatology Community

"i have a fatty liver"

Definition
By Mayo Clinic staff

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease  
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a term used to describe the accumulation of fat in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is common and, for most people, causes no signs and symptoms and no complications. But in some people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the fat that accumulates can cause inflammation and scarring in the liver. This more serious form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is sometimes called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. At its most severe, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can progress to liver failure.

Causes

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease  
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease occurs when your liver has trouble breaking down fats, causing fat to build up in your liver tissue. Doctors aren't sure what causes this. The wide range of diseases and conditions linked to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is so diverse that it's difficult to pinpoint any one cause.

Risk factors

A wide range of diseases and conditions can increase your risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, including:

Certain medications
Gastric bypass surgery
High cholesterol
High levels of triglycerides in the blood
Malnutrition
Metabolic syndrome
Obesity
Rapid weight loss
Toxins and chemicals, such as pesticides
Type 2 diabetes
Wilson's disease

It sounds like you are on the right path. Fatty liver disease can increase liver enzyme levels.

Let us know what you find out.

Good luck to you!

i do not have my test results for enzime levels of sgot and sgpt.
but 4 months ago, i  did a blood test for hepatits a, b ans c and they were negative. i have a pain in my upper right stomach (almost 2 weeks, although now decreased) and the doctor did an ultrasound and told me that i have a fatty liver. i am waiting my blood results.

[HectorSF]

How high are they? How much higher than the normal range?

High liver enzyme level only indicate "something" is injuring the liver. It could be many things other than hepatitis.

Certain prescription medications
Drinking alcohol
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Taking too much over-the-counter pain medications, including acetaminophen (Tylenol, others)
Some vitamins and  supplements

Alcoholic hepatitis (liver inflammation caused by drinking alcohol)
Autoimmune hepatitis (liver inflammation caused by an autoimmune disorder)
Celiac disease (small intestine damage caused by gluten)
Cirrhosis (liver scarring)
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection
Dermatomyositis (inflammatory disease that causes muscle weakness and skin rash)
Epstein-Barr virus
Gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis)
Heart attack
Hemochromatosis (too much iron stored in your body)
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
Liver cancer
Mononucleosis
Pancreatitis (pancreas inflammation)
Polymyositis (inflammatory disease that causes muscle weakness)
Wilson's disease (too much copper stored in your body)

See a gastroenterologist to find out what is causing your elevated levels.
