“How to treat elevated liver enzymes?”
I rarely drink alcohol or soft drinks or eat sweets. Only meds I take are a beta blocker, plavix, and aspirin for HBP and stent. I saw the doctor yesterday and he already set up a Transjugular intrahepatic venous pressure measurement procedure to be done next week. It seems to me that this procedure would be further down the list of things to do. I've read that their are many other conditions such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, celiac disease, Epstein-Barr virus, hemochromatosis (too much iron stored in the body), thyroid disorder, liver cancer, mononucleosis, polymyositis, toxic hepatitis, Wison's disease, etc that could be checked by blood work etc, first, before the Transjugular test.
What do you think?
