Elevated liver enzymes

[Mary wag]

My dd 9 liver enzymes came back mildly elevated. Ast at 52. She has been off zythromax since dec25. But was on it a month. Now is on olive leaf, inositol 700 mg. multi vit, omega 3 vit D.

 

Could the liver enzymes be up still from antibiotics. Or from olive leaf or inositol.

The inositol is really helping her mood. Stopping the olive leaf. Should I stop the inositol too

Thanks mary

My dd13 AST and ALT went CRAZY high, like 700's and 400's, in three weeks on Bactrim. It went back to normal as soon as she stopped. We realized she has a sulpha allergy like I do.

My DS had elevated liver enzymes for over a year. Had 2 liver biopsies done. After taking 60 mg prednisone for 2 weeks enzymes were normal.

Drs. conclusion: inflammation in liver

 

He was not on antibiotics at the time.

My ds has been off antibiotics for month and half. But hear it takes long time for liver enzymes to go down. Is this true? Could it be olive leaf?

Thanks mary

Suggest taking milk thistle. That will help to bring levels down.

Mary...All I know is that the prednisone lowered them quickly. I think all Drs. were surprised esp. the Chief of Gastroenterolgy and Hepatology at the teaching hospital where 2nd biopsy was done.
