Question:

What medication or medications elevated your liver blood enzymes, and how was it treated? Submit Your Comment

Medication agomelatine elevated my liver blood enzymes. I have another liver function test in a week. Decision whether to stop drug depends on increase or steady state. I am upset because it seems to be helping a bit with depression.

My ALT and AST of liver were slightly elevated and I had bilirubin in my urine. After 2 weeks without alcohol and Advil, everything is back to normal, liver sonogram is perfect.

I did some blood tests and the ALT reading came back high. I have had no trouble with liver before taking medication letrozole for cancer treatment.
