exercise and elevated liver enzymes - Liver & Pancreas Disorders Message Board

runner12 · 05-31-2005, 09:31 PM

I have elevated liver enzymes. I am an excessive exerciser. If I have blood tests taken after a strenuous workout, say a 10 mile run and 5 mile bike ride, could this cause my tests to be elevated? I do not have any form of hepatitis and only drink non-alcoholic beer. I have no pain,soreness, or tenderness in the liver area. Any information on this topic would be highly appreciated as I see my doctor on Friday, June 3, 2005. Any other suggestions welcome. Thank you for your time.

I know for sure that strenuous excercise can cause protien to show up in the urine but not real sure about the liver issues.I would just ask your doc,they would be able to tell you.I do know that when you are really pushing yourself, the body does indeed go through certain changes and releases certain chemicals,so I suppose it IS possible.Just consult with your doc about any irregularities and ask for your own set of lab results.this way you will always have that baseline set of labs just incase something comes up in the future.Good luck,and let me know how things go>Marcia

Do you take any medications or supplements (specifically herbal?). Some medicinal agents can cause liver enzymes to elevate. Let us know the outcome.
