At my age, even looking at a samosa can upset my liver enzymes! But yes, THC is processed by the liver, so regular use can show up in your blood reports. Best to keep the lifestyle clean before the doctor starts lecturing you.

Yes, heavy use of THC can definitely cause a slight rise in your liver enzymes (SGOT/SGPT). A simple workable solution is to cut down drastically and get a routine liver function test (LFT) done at any local lab to see where your levels stand.

My doctor noticed a slight elevation in my liver enzymes during a routine checkup and asked if I was consuming THC. Once I stopped, my levels returned to normal in a couple of months. That was my experience.

THC is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 pathway in the liver, which can definitely cause fluctuations in liver enzymes, especially if mixed with other medications. I track my health stats digitally and highly recommend getting an annual LFT to monitor this.

I read so many articles about liver health and got super anxious about my enzyme levels. If you are worried, please get a quick blood test done so you don't keep stressing over it. Stressing also affects your health!
