Elevated Liver Enzymes: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Tips

4 Symptoms of Elevated Liver Enzymes

Nausea

Recurring nausea is one of the earliest symptoms of liver issues, including elevated liver enzymes. In many cases, you might vomit, particularly after each meal. The condition occurs because your liver plays a key role in the digestive system. Fat is broken down in this area to become energy. When your liver function gets worse, the metabolic rate will be reduced, thus causing nausea. In early stages, nausea doesn’t result in vomiting spells, but when liver damages spread, this will happen more frequently. In later stages, fluid would build up in your abdominal cavity and cause a condition called ascites. [5]
