How To Treat Elevation Of Liver Enzymes?

Hello, My liver enzymes are elevated, much more so than in the past; Dr asked me to stop all alcohol and any Tylenol intake, and in 1-2 weeks return to the lab to recheck hepatic panel, iron, TIBC, ferritin, hep B panel, hep C antibody, and hep A panel for further evaluation. The reason for Dr visit to begin with was due to having Strep. Could having Strep also cause the liver enzymes to be elevated?

Welcome to HCM!
I appreciate your concern for the elevated liver enzymes and the possibility of any link with Strepto.
Elevated liver enzymes are caused most commonly by chronic alcohol intake, liver diseases which may include fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc. gall bladder disease, etc.
Strepto is unlikely to be the cause for elevated liver enzymes.

As your doc has rightly suggested you must stop boozing from now onwards, as you know alcohol can damage your liver in addition to other organs like heart, brain, pancreas, tests, etc.

You are advised to take fresh fruits, avoid fatty vegan and non vegan meals, Take Vit E tablets that are found to protect the liver from injuries.

I hope your doubts have been cleared.

Take care of your precious health.
