Since six days ago, symptoms have got worse, constant pain in hips,back arms and legs. I had a blood check and it came back abnormal, after seeing doctor today he said it was an abnormal liver 160 four times worse than average whatever that means and also to stop taking my duloxetine for depression...what is the abnormality in. Y liver. Mum passed away with Fibrolamella two years ago. Thank you Doctor: Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist. Elevation in liver enzymes has many cause like Hepatitis B, C, Metabolic disorders, NAFLD, alcohol intake etc. So I will suggest you to visit a Hepatologist for evaluation who will advise tests and then manage accordingly. Meanwhile there are few medicines which I found very useful in my patients are ursodeoxycholic acid and vitamin E. Do regular exercise and reduce your weight if you are overweight, avoid alcohol if you drink.I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health
