causes of high liver enzymes

[chantel]

The past 6 months I have had high ALT & AST liver enzymes. I do not drink alcohol. I have had the HVB vaccine. I have been very tired the past few months. I have also had high uric acid levels, and been treated for gout.... although now my uric acid is ok (?)... I am waiting for  a glucose and TSH results right now. Can the high liver enzymes be related to the uric acid or TSH? I am going to ask to have a hep panel run, is there anything else that I may want to look into?

my husband took an antidepressant 2 days before the blood work and the results of the enzymes from last year (60) to today (250) is very high.  Could this have something to do with it? he doesnt suffer from anything.

what is the relation betewwen fatty liver and high liver enzymes?

Elevated liver enzymes can be caused from high iron....high ferritin (iron storage) There is a test called HFE gene type that will tell you if you have hemochromotosis - it is a ginetic disorded that causes the body to store to much iron. It is a common desease but much under diagnosed. I would start there. Go to google and type it in and check it out. Good Luck

My elevated enzymes were simply a warning sign of Hep C, 2b. I had no other symptoms, so even though the enzymes had been elevated for 10 years, no Doctor suggested that I have the liver panel done. Each year, I had a routine physical, and there were about 4 different Doctors. Now I'm on a 24 week treatment program, only because I did my own research on the Internet, and decided to ask for the blood work myself.
