Help elevated liver enzymes

[sybrekel]

A couple of weeks ago i started having mild pains in ny upper right quadrant. I have been working out very hard even injuring my left arm after my doctor told me i had to lose weight due to diabetes. 6 weeks ago i had blood work done and everything was normal. Now a few days ago i had another blood work done and when i got my results my doctor said my liver enzyma are elevated. She sent me for another blood test as well as an ultrasound to make sure eeverything is ok. After my ultrasound i peaked at the screen and seen a spot that was white in my gallblader not sure what it is. Can gallbladder cause elevated enzymes with ast/alt test? Or what else could cause this?

Just wanted to update. I have lost a total 80lbs since I last posted changed everything about what I eat. My doctor retested me and so far everything returned back to normal with my liver enzymes. I feel great. There is hope. My doctor said they are still keeping a close eye to make sure everything is ok.

Does anyone know if fatty liver does go away??

My doctor said the fatty liver is very mild. I am curently trying exercise ans i also heard milk thistle works as well not sure though but my doctor is going to do another blood test in the beginning of April. So im just gonna lose some weight and see how that goes.

I think diet and exercise is the primary approach. There is also some evidence that vitamin e can be beneficial in non-diabetic patients.

"...Weight loss through improved diet and increased physical activity has been the cornerstone therapy of NAFLD. Recent therapies such as pioglitazone and vitamin E have been shown to be beneficial. Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and statins may offer additional benefits.,,,"

See: Clinical approaches to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Just got back my results for my ultrasound and my doctor said it came back as a fatty liver. I have been up all night reading about this and it has jusy gotten me stressed and the only thing i read was to change my diet and try to lose weight. I guess that is my next step and i will see how this goes. My doctor didnt even give me too much info thats why im so confused i had no idea where to begin.
