Abnormal liver enzyme levels

Preview

When serum levels of liver enzymes are elevated and continue to be on follow-up testing, significant disease may be present, even if the patient has no symptoms. Physicians who are aware of possible causes of such elevations have the opportunity to identify certain disorders in the very early, presymptomatic stages. Dr King describes disorders of hepatic origin and some mimickers that may cause abnormal enzyme levels and outlines the steps to take to narrow and confirm diagnosis.
