The Obvious Causes Of Elevated Liver Enzymes

Statins

Statins are great, so great. These prescriptions tackle high cholesterol so well. So well! Men, you'll get one to lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke. They'll even reduce your risk of a second stroke or heart attack by 40%. What a huge, huge win! That said, hold your horses. Statins have side effects! The big ones are muscle weakness, abdominal pain, sleeping issues, bloating, and dizziness.

Obviously, statins cause elevated liver enzymes. Men, this one's rare. That's the good news! You'll get your risk low, so low, when you only take the smallest dose you need. Men, your doc's going to monitor you when you're on these meds too. They're your backup to stay safe! When your liver enzymes are only a little higher, you still take this med. But if they get even higher? Your doc's going to make a change!
