Does an increase in the liver enzymes anyway linked to tumor?
Patient: I am 19 years old and just had a 4 cm tumor including a lymph node removed from my neck near the jaw. there is another tumor higher up and more difficult to remove as it will involve muscle. The tumor was sent for biopsy and await results. In the meantime thru blood work they found my liver enzymes to be over 800 and a fatty liver. Can these 2 things be connected and if so, what might the diagnosis be? Doctor: hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. it may or may not be related (as such in multiple endocrine syndromes). await your neck biopsy results. as for your liver enzymes, further evaluation of your abdomen must be done. a consult with your doctor is best. diagnostics (such as ultrasound & other blood exams) and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.hope this helps.good day!!~dr.kaye
