Elevated liver enzymes are usually a symptom of an underlying condition rather than a cause.
As such the elevated levels of enzymes themselves are unlikely to be deadly, rather it is the condition causing the elevated concentration which is potentially dangerous.
A number of conditions can cause elevated liver enzymes leading to abnormal liver function tests:
- Fatty liver (commonly caused by alcohol, obesity or Diabetes)
- Hepatitis (varying forms including those caused by viral infection and alcohol abuse)
- HIV
- Cirrhosis
- Liver cancer
NB: This is by no means an exhaustive list.
Certain drugs may also affect liver function tests so you should tell your doctor about any prescription, over the counter, legal (alcohol etc.) or illegal drugs that you are taking or have taken.

However, elevated liver enzymes are not a direct consequence of diverticulitis itself, and other underlying conditions or factors should also be considered.
