What is the problem with elevated liver enzymes?
Elevated liver enzymes, often detected through a blood test, indicate potential liver damage or inflammation. The liver produces enzymes as part of its normal function, but when the liver is injured or inflamed, it releases higher amounts of these enzymes into the bloodstream. The most common liver enzymes measured in a blood test are alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST). Potential causes of elevated liver enzymes include: Liver Diseases: Conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or cirrhosis can lead to increased enzyme levels. Medications: Certain drugs and medications, including over-the-counter pain relievers, can affect the liver and cause enzyme elevation. Alcohol Consumption: Excessive alcohol intake can lead to liver inflammation and elevated enzymes. Infections: Viral infections, particularly hepatitis viruses, can impact the liver and result in elevated enzyme levels. Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions where the immune system mistakenly targets the liver can cause inflammation and elevated enzymes. Metabolic Conditions: Conditions like hemochromatosis or Wilson's disease can affect the liver and lead to enzyme elevation. Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Accumulation of fat in the liver, unrelated to alcohol consumption, can cause elevated enzymes.
