Does Rise In Liver Enzymes Cause Fatigue,muscle Cramps And Soreness In Head?
My husband has been lethargic, had major leg muscle cramps, soreness in his head (localized spots - not headache), and has been running a low grade fever that has spiked to as much as 103.8. We took him to ER two days ago and they did bloodwork. His white blood cells are normal . The ER physician said his liver enzymes were 3 times higher than what is considered normal. He also had some blood showing in the urine sample. What, in your opinion, would be causing a fever, that spikes but is brought down with Advil, but would not cause any white blood cell count to go up?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, as there is fever, fatigue and muscle cramps with sore head indicate underlying inflammatory condition with some sort of bacterial infection most likely.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
