[|Human|] I had blood tests done last week and the results showed slightly elevated liver enzymes levels. I am wondering is this serious and what could the cause be. Is there any precautions I can take. I am 64 years. My GP has suggested I have same repeated in 2 months.
[|AI|]  It may be serious condition. There are many causes of raised liver enzymes. Most common of them are viral hepatitis like hepatitis b and c, fatty liver, alcoholism, autoimmune DS, Chat Doctor.  You need to be worked in sequence for these various causes. It may turn out to be a simple disease as fatty liver or life-threatening disease like cirrhosis or liver dance. So get evaluated by a Gastroenterologist as soon as possible. Also workup will also be affected by level of these enzymes, I think basic test should be done before leaving as it is for 2 months in an old age patient. I would suggest go for basic test like viral marker, USG etc. ugh no significant liver dysfunction noted can wait for 2 months and lose weight in the meantime if obese
