Suggest Treatment For Elevated Liver Enzymes
I had a blood test and was told my liver enzymes were high. I had drank alcohol 2 days prior to my appointment. I am a 21 yr old male and in very good physical condition. I exercise daily and do a lot of weight lifting. Only drink on occasion could the enzymes be high 2 days after drinking alcohol?

hi.
noted history of elevated liver enzymes and alcohol drinking. to answer your question, yes, it could elevate your liver enzymes, especially if you drink regularly and engages on binge drinking. other things, such as infection (like hepatitis), that can cause elevated liver enzymes must also be ruled-out. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as ultrasound) and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
