Does plendil cause fatty liver?
Plendil, or felodipine, is a calcium channel blocker used by doctors to help reduce patients blood pressure. It is processed by the liver, but should not cause fatty liver - and in fact there are no reports of that in the medical literature. However, if one had previous liver disease, or took other drugs with felodipine - that may cause problems. Drinking alcohol and/or an unhealthy lifestyle is usually the cause of "fatty liver." If you have concerns, you should visit your doctor and get a professional opinion!

What can cause high AST and LDH in liver function test?
In my case, I was told "non-alcoholic fatty liver." High blood cholesterol may cause high SGOT/AST and a specific LDH "type" (they can tell from whence the LDH originates) may be elevated. If they said liver, then fatty liver is usually the culprit. Habitual alcohol or certain medication use may cause fatty liver as well. Losing weight is said to help lower those two. Lowering blood cholesterol is important to help the "fatty liver" lessen it's load. In my case, years pass and more bloodwork reveals the same, plus leukemia and lymphoma. I am in poor general health, so I think the high AST & LDH are from the fatty liver and not the cancers. A CBC will inform your doctor if there are abnormalities that would point him/her away from fatty liver.
If your liver enzymes are high could this be because of a fatty liver?
Yes, a fatty liver will cause a rise in liver enzymes (as determined by a blood test). However, all other liver conditions will also cause a rise in liver enzymes, so concluding it is due to "fatty liver disease" purely on the the basis of high ALT/AST levels would be foolish. Some liver diseases can be ruled out on exactly how high the enzyme levels are (some require very high levels, and at certain ratios), however that still leaves quite a few possible causes for high liver enzymes. If your liver enzymes remain high, or if you are experiencing other symptoms of liver disease (e.g jaundice, itching, tiredness, indigestion possibly with upper back pain, stabbing pain in either side of the abdomen etc...) , you will be sent for further testing to identify the exact cause of the liver malfunction, and advised as to appropriate treatment. However you may also find that your liver enzymes stabilise by themselves, without need for treatment.
