A new study will investigate a genetic cause for elevated liver enzymes in people with MS who take certain drugs. Elevated liver enzymes are a regrettably common complication of multiple sclerosis and its treatments.
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.
