After chemo and bilateral surgery I now have elevated liver enzymes.  Anyone else have experience with this?

    Chemo and sedation medication

    Chemo, anastesic and sedation medications can cause elevated liver enzymes. Please drink a lot of water. Please Ask your doctor about it at your next appointment.

    Liver Enzymes

    I had an experience with elevated liver enzymes once.  My Primary Care Doctor ordered another blood test, which showed the enzymes still higher and another.   My oncologist, she ordered a liver scan which was clear and another blood test which showed the liver enzymes completely back in the normal range.  I never did learn what made them go up and up and up.

    However, I would talk to your oncologist.  Sometimes chemo does make the liver enzymes go out of range.

    Best,
