10 Causes of Elevated Liver Enzymes The virus leads to a chronic infection, although it mainly stays dormant and can be reactivated. In newborns and individuals with a weakened immune system, cytomegalovirus may lead to inflammation of the liver, or hepatitis. Hepatitis causes liver damage, which is reflected by elevated liver enzymes (ALT/AST). There is no cure for a CMV infection, although antiviral medications can slow viral reproduction.

Doctors currently recommend that people take a liver enzyme test before or shortly after they begin taking statins. The issue of kidney damage as seen in the current study, however, is relatively new.

Your liver enzymes may be elevated, even if there is no damage to the liver. In example, ALP is made by the bones and the liver. Your blood ALP levels may be elevated due to damaged the bones, not a damaged liver.

Anyone heard of donepezil causing confusion/hallucinations? And statins can adversely affect the liver over time. There is always a trade off. If it was me, give me microdoses of Aricept and let me throw the statins over the hedge. Thanks for listening to a cranky old lady.

Gabapentin and aspirin The pain meds are not harmful to the liver as long as they don't contain aspirin and acetaminefen and are taken under a Docs care, along with regular blood tests you'll get any way for the treatment. Most pain meds ,codein, hydrocodone, etc.,metabolize to morphine in the liver , so morphine has the least pressure on the liver aslong as you are in good enough shape to rid the liver of the drug and not let it build up.

Does Lipitor cause liver enzymes? Yes, statins as a group can cause elevated liver enzymes. However, this does not mean that they have damaged the liver. Statins can increase ALT concentrations roughly 10% of patients. However, it is rare (less than 1% of patients) that the increase will go higher than three times the normal limit. If the enzymes raise that high, statins should be stopped.

Are elevated liver enzymes always linked to alcohol overuse? These enzymes can come from muscle or liver. They can be elevated in the 24 hours after extreme exercise because of muscle damage. They can also be elevated because of liver damage from alcohol, infection of the liver, or even the spread of cancer to the liver or trauma to the liver. Certain drugs other than alcohol can also cause an elevation of these enzymes. It would be to your advantage to get these measured after several days of no alcohol.

The liver eliminates ibuprofen from the body. The process may work too slowly in some people, or liver function may be altered by high doses of certain drugs, such as ibuprofen (National Institutes of Health [NIH]).
