Understanding Liver Enzyme Fluctuations: When You Should Be Concerned?

Understanding Liver Enzyme Fluctuations: When Should You Be Concerned? This video delves into the causes and significance of fluctuating liver enzymes including AST, ALT, and GGT, crucial indicators of liver health. It explains the optimal ranges for these enzymes and the variance between temporary (transient) and long-term (persistent) elevations. Causes behind these fluctuations are examined, such as intense physical activity, new medications, increased alcohol consumption, and chronic issues like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The video also discusses how environmental toxins have been leading to higher average liver enzyme levels globally over time. Guidance is provided on how to interpret these fluctuations and when to seek further medical advice, emphasizing the importance of testing and lifestyle adjustments to manage liver health effectively. 00:00 Introduction to Liver Enzyme Fluctuations 00:36 Understanding Liver Enzymes and Their Significance 02:16 Reference Ranges and Population Trends 03:08 Transient vs. Persistent Elevations 03:41 Causes of Transient Elevations 05:33 Persistent Elevations and Chronic Issues 06:32 Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) 09:08 When to Be Concerned About Elevated Liver Enzymes 11:43 Conclusion and Next Steps
