Liver enzymes can go up for many reasons, not just serious stuff. Sometimes even intense workouts can temporarily elevate them. But usually, it's things like alcohol, fatty liver, or certain medications. Best to get it checked if you're concerned.

My elders always used to say, 'Take care of your liver, it's very important.' They talked about avoiding too much spice and oil. But nowadays, the doctors also say things like fatty liver from weight gain, and medicines can also cause enzyme levels to rise. So doctor's advice is paramount.

Oh, I've heard about this but don't really know much. Does eating a lot of oily food also affect it? Or is it more about medicines?

My doctor explained this to me quite clearly. Common causes include fatty liver disease (which is very prevalent now), alcohol consumption, certain medications like pain relievers, and even some herbal supplements. Viral infections like hepatitis can also raise them significantly. Always follow up with a doctor for proper diagnosis.

So many things can upset our liver, na? 😅 Alcohol is a big one, of course! But even some everyday meds can do it. Best to avoid anything that puts strain on it. Stay healthy! ✨
