Im 37, 220lbs, male, on blood pressure medicinei went to the Dr for a checkup and they did normal blood work. Came back with elevated liver enzymes. So they tested me for hepatitis and it came back negative. Went back a month later and tested again, still elevated so they sent me for an ultrasound, whicChatDoctore back normal. Now he wants me to go to a gastroenterologist. Was wondering what to expect and what could be the problem. I feel fine but now am wondering if Ive got something serious going on.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. It would be easier if you've posted the exact liver enzymes findings. Its elevation is common found in many disorders must most usually is alcoholic, viral, autoimmune or toxic liver damage. The most common liver disorders are fatty liver which can be found in healthy people, but usually is resulting from elevated blood lipids, overweight and elevated blood sugar. If ultrasounds didn't find anything and viral markers are negative then you have no reason to be concerned. You should treat it by changing dietary and lifestyle habits. Do exercise, avoid alcohol, smoking, fats, fast food and carbonated Chat Doctor.  Eat more fruit and vegetables, boiled meat and follow some of hepatoprotective diets. Findings usually improves on such measures. If not, then some medicines can be prescribed, but I suggest going step by step. If you don't have any symptoms then this is just slight and reversible liver damage. Wish you good health.
