What Causes Fluctuation In Liver Enzymes?
My two year old daughter has fluctuating liver enzymes and slightly fatty liver.She is going to a specialist in Birmingham,Al. She lives with her mother so I am concerned if her diet is the contributing factor.She has an upcoming biopsy coming up soon to see what is causing this or if its possiby a genetic condition.I have heard that its usually diet or medicine intake related though.How serious is this? It has me extremely worried.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Slight elevation of enzymes is not significant and may be related to diet. Some genetic conditions like Gilbert's syndrome has persistently high liver function test, it doesn’t cause any harm. Let’s wait for the biopsy results to come.
Wishing all the best.
