What causes elevated liver enzymes?
Patient: Hi, I am a 33 year old female, married with two kids, 6 and 9.  I have only had sexual intercourse with my husband and one other boy in high school.  I have never done illegal drugs.  I do drink about once a week.  My liver enzymes are very elevated and my BUN is just slightly higher than normal. Doctor: hi.noted history of elevated liver enzymes and BUN levels. it is best if you consult with a doctor for physical examination and clinical evaluation. you may have a fatty liver or chronic alcohol intake, hence, elevation of liver enzymes. infective and obstructive causes must be ruled-out. for your BUN levels, your kidneys must be evaluated as well. kidney or ureteral stones must be ruled-out. diagnostics (such as abdominal ultrasound, blood counts, urinalysis, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. low fat, low salt diet is also recommended.hope this helps.good day!!~dr.kaye
