How Can Elevated Liver Enzymes Be Treated?

My son is 17 years old and never touched alcohol. While pain in the abdomen underwent for USG for whole abdomen on 15/09/2017 and there was no stone in the Gall Bladder. At the same time Liver Function Tests were done twice and result were normal for all parameters. Later, endoscopy detected that he was having gastric ulcer and treatment started. Due to his pain in the both back side for the last three months, on 17.06. 2018, USG of the whole abdomen was done again. The USG of Gall Bladder revealed chronic calculus cholecystistis. The Liver Function Test at the same time revealed increased SGOT, SGOPT, GGT and ALP. I am very scared for this rise in Liver Enzymes. Kindly guide. Regards, Debasish Joardar

Hello,

You'd need to do a lot of tests. First, they seem to have done the visualization tests such as ultrasound.

Second, the pattern of the enzymes generally means a lot with alk phos being associated with a blockage outside of the liver and GGT and OT and PT being associated with liver cells dying off (like with viral or parasite infection).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
