What Causes Benign Neoplasm Thyroid Glands And Elevated Liver Enzymes?
I recently had a thyroid biopsy done that came back with the result of Benign Neoplasm Thyroid Glands. Today my doctor s office called and said that my blood work shows elevated liver enzymes. I now have to schedule a liver ultrasound. I m wondering what might be going on?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
I dont think that thyrpid issue is related to high liver enzymes. high LFTs can be caused by many factors and most commonly it is seen in fatty liver or gallbaldder issues. other possible and more serious disorders are hepatitis, cirhhosis, autoimmune diseases and some other. You need to do more detailed gastroenterologic work up to verify the exact cause.Benign thyroid neoplasm is common finding and it requires only frequent follow up.
WIsh you good health. Regards
