Elevation of enzymes after a short procedure to remove a kidney stone on a 78 year old woman who historically does not tolerate being put to sleep. No signs of distress reported before, during or immediately after the procedure. Blood work then showed slight elevation before release to leave. Subsequent tests over next few hours showed rising enzymes but no other indicators present including nothing abnormal with heart rate, no dizziness, no shortness of breathe and no pain. Is this reaction alone a sign of heart attack or some other underlying issue. YYYY@YYYY
Hello, Transient elevation is quite common and in most case it will bring down by itself. If the enzymes are persistently elevated, you have to consult a nephrologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
