Elevated Liver Enzymes: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Tips

Hepatitis

Those people with hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C tend to have a higher risk of suffering from elevated liver enzymes. This is because those conditions could lead to inflammation of this organ and stimulate the productions of those components. Over time, the enzymes will increase gradually. But when hepatitis becomes chronic and spreads, it might quickly cause other serious issues such as jaundice, urine darkening, abdominal pain, as well as fatigue. Keep in mind that hepatitis C or hepatitis B would go undiagnosed for many years, so regular health checks are important to prevent this health condition. [2]
