Brief Answer:
Rare side effect

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
I have gone through your question and the reports...

I understand your concerns but Crestor can cause the side effect of elevated liver enzymes in rare cases (less than 1% of the cases). I would recommend that you stop taking the medication and follow up on the level of liver enzymes after one month.

If still elevated then you should get a blood test for viral hepatitis markers for further evaluation...

I hope you find this helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further...

Regards

Answered by Dr. salah saad shoman (13 hours later)

Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, hello again.. There is no need to worry as the elevation is minimal and most probably is induced by your medications.. If the hepatitis markers are negative then this should only require follow up.. I hope you find this helpful. if you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.

Brief Answer:
Yes there is..

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, hello again.. Your test results role out the possibility of hepatitis infection. Also creatine supplements can cause liver damage and lead to elevation of liver enzymes. I would recommend that you discontinue these supplements at once.. hope you find this helpful
