Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that elevated liver function tests are not related to Statins or medicines against Cholesterol, as you have stopped the medication.

I would recommend performing an abdominal ultrasound to examine your liver and repeat liver function tests after a couple of week.

If you are currently taking medicine against Cholesterol, you should stop them for at least one month and start again after a month, in low doses.

Anyway, these levels of liver enzymes are not concerning about any serious underlying causes.

So relax and don't worry about it!

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
