I have a friend who is an occupational therapist. She recently was in the ER diagnosed with V-tach. She said her liver enzymes were also elevated and significantly not slightly. She is in excellent shape. Has an occasional drink; isn t on any routine meds, and does not abuse any drugs. She stated she had a cholecystectomy several years ago and does have occasional cramping in her stomach that subsides shortly after it begins. She thinks that whatever is causing her liver enzymes to be elevated, that is what sent her into V-tach. She will follow-up with a cardiologist in a few weeks however I am curious also as to what could have caused her liver enzymes to be sooo elevated. Any thought?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.GOT and SGPT are sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of diseases or conditions, and collectively they are termed liver tests or liver blood tests. So the next step is to look for certain liver damage and most common case is fatty liver disease. It should be confirmed by ultrasound. Other causes are viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, medications, alcohol intake or autoimmune diseases. To verify exact cause, US, bilirubin levels and tumor markers should be additional done Then appropriate treatment can be started. I hope I have answered you query.
