My liver enzymes are elevated, but I don take steroids or drink alcohol. Whats the problem?
While the aminotransferases are often referred to as liver enzymes, these enzymes are actually found in numerous tissues and their numbers often increase from exercise-induced trauma. These numbers are a good marker for people who drink alcohol constantly, or consume oral anabolic steroids. If the numbers are 100 times higher than the normal range in the aforementioned people, there’s a good chance their livers are hurting.
