What causes elevated liver enzymes and water retention?
Patient: My annual lab tests showed an elevate BUN, and elevated Liver enzymes. Should I be concerned? Last year the BUN was elevated but not as much and now the liver enzymes are elevated. I take daily glucophage, aldactone and was taking a fat burner for awhile.  I am 32 years old, female, 5'3" and 123 pounds. I have been retaining water and its getting out of control. I recently gained 15 pounds over the last 3 months. I exercise 5-6 times per week 60-90 mins of cardio each time. My T3 was LOW however my T4 WNL and my TSH on the low end of normal. I was diagnosed with insulin resistance after the birth of my second child in 2003. Any advice or insight to this issue? Doctor: Hi, You should take both your raised BUN and liver enzymes seriously and try to bring them down with effective Diabetes control, fat regulation, and medication for both. Please consult your Diabetologist/ Endocrinologist for this. Regards
