What causes an elevation in the liver enzymes while having fatty liver?
Patient: I believe I am having a slight Pancreatitis attack. I have always had a fatty liver, but lately liver levels are really high, I believe I am indulging too much.I have a swollen stomach, slight pain in liver area, more pain in pancreas. in fact I feel some pain in my left side and back. Pain is not as bad as child birth as I hear some people say it should be.Is it possibly still pancreatitus? Doctor: Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.Yes it is possible.In most cases it can be regulated by medications which include insuline supplements and enzymes for digestion Also alcohol is forbidden in these cases and you should eat less fatty food, less sugar and more vegetables and boiled food. Also, avoid citotoxic medications. Eat a balanced and healthy diet and get regular exercise. Limit high-carb foods such as bread, grits, rice, potatoes, and corn. And cut down on drinks with lots of sugar like sports drinks and juice. This should lead to improvement. You should repeat your liver markers in 3-4 weeks.If there is no improvement then surgical therapy may be considered and include drainage procedures or pancreas resection. This is last option and you should consult your doctor about this.I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.Kindly regards.
