Should I be worried about my health ?

Good idea to get it checked out as elevated liver enzymes can indicate a myriad of different conditions. Make sure you tell your doctor if you are taking any supplements, too.

I am both a scientist and a psychic. Don't worry. A "slight elevation" of this sort does merit further testing (responsible action: good job), but it is only confirmatory of a benign (momentary) anomaly or (structural) idiosyncrasy of your liver, either of which being found to not negatively affect functionality. Be well, brother.

Ask your doctor or a second doctor if you want a second opinion but no one on any message board, let alone this collection of idiots, can answer that question for you.

With maybe 2 or 3 exceptions and literally no more the posters here are borderline retarded.

How old are you? Do you consume alcohol and how much if so? Tested for Hepatitis (A,B,C)?

21. Never touched a drop of alcohol in my life. Am getting tested in response to the finding.

Get tested for hepatitis. It can be treated without lasting effects.

Did you workout the day before the sample? Intense exercise can dramatically elevate one of them. I got sent to a specialist because of this and he laughed and said that the GP should have known.

Yes actually.

My liver enzymes are elevated due to something called Gilbert's syndrome. Completely harmless, hasn't affected me for 1 second of my life. Could be same for you

Precisely.

You’ll probably be okay, I have to get tested for Crohn’s disease every 2-3 months whenever I show any slight symptoms just due to family history. It’s not exactly that the doctors think I have it, it’s just to be safe. Probably the same case for you.

This is why one should avoid the medical system. Just live your best life.

Same here. Not only is it completely harmless, having elevated bilirubin (which is what happens) actually helps protect you from heart disease and stroke. Don't just take my word for it though...talk to your doctor.

Read some about it here:

I will hope for you that this is what it is.

When I was 33 and running fast marathons I had a routine blood panel run and my liver enzymes came up extremely elevated (4-5 times higher than the "reference" upper range). A repeat showed the same thing. I had a bunch of other tests and imaging done, none of which showed anything. The M.D. recommended a liver biopsy next and I refused. Six months later the liver enzymes were still very high. I didn't check again for about 10 years and at that time everything was normal. Between ages 45 and 63 I had multiple blood panels run and my liver enzymes have always been squarely in the normal range.

I'd get it checked out, but I wouldn't submit to any invasive procedures based solely on an abnormal blood test.

Should I be worried? I feel extremely healthy. Eat well. Sleep well. Exercise. Do good in school. Etc.

Tests are mostly bull$hit. Not the test, per se. The tests are most likely accurate in what they measure, but the interpretations, conclusions and prognosis are BS. Sure, the measurement of this element is x. But they don't know what the f#ck that means, good or bad. 99% of the time with healthy people it doesn't mean anything.

Trust yourself. Know your own body. Stay away from the medical money machine. They will always find something "wrong" with a healthy person.

Yes you should be worried.

If you are overweight not surprising finding.

Many things can cause elevated liver enzymes so yes you need a good work up and stop asking for medical advice to these trolls.

I have a slightly elevated liver count as well -- it's very common but usually warrants some slight change in your lifestyle -- the most common is avoiding refined carbs, white bread, red meat, excessive pasta..etc. There's both non-alcoholic and alcoholic fatty liver disease. It sounds like you don't drink, so diet could be a factor. I've cut back on drinking hugely and also gave up red meat and trying to keep a healthy weight.

Maybe start drinking? I drink like a fish and my liver is A OK.

As much as you troll here you should be concerned about your mental health
