Can high liver enzymes cause fatigue?

Question

I'm always feeling tired and drained, no matter how much I sleep. My recent blood test showed my liver enzymes are high. Is it possible that high liver enzymes can be the cause of this constant fatigue?

Omg yes! I was feeling so lazy and tired during my exams, I thought it was just stress. But my routine blood test showed elevated liver enzymes. It honestly makes you feel like a zombie. Make sure you get some rest and drink lots of water.

In my experience, yes. Last year my liver enzymes were quite high and I felt completely drained all day, even after sleeping for 8 hours. Once I worked with my doctor to bring the levels down, my energy levels returned to normal.

I had this same issue and I was so worried it was something major. The constant fatigue really plays with your mind. But once the doctor explained that a stressed liver causes tiredness, I felt a bit relieved. Just follow the advice and don't overanalyze.

Yes, extreme fatigue is a very common symptom of elevated liver enzymes. Please try to take plenty of rest and avoid any heavy, oily foods for a few days. I hope you feel better soon.

My grandmother always recommended taking buttermilk with curry leaves for tiredness, but when the fatigue persisted, we went to our family doctor. He diagnosed high liver enzymes. Proper medical treatment and a simple diet helped me recover my strength.
