all right so I wanted to talk about what

causes high liver enzymes okay

you’d have high ast alt or ALP okay

so these two are high it’s meaning than

the liver if this one is high chances

are you could have a stone that’s

blocking a little bile duct and you’re

having the bowel

backing up so it’s a kind of a congested

bile situation backing up to deliver so

the number one cause would be something

called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

okay so it’s basically of a fatty liver

that is not coming from alcohol but I

always like to know what causes this

it’s insulin resistance okay I’ve done a

couple videos on that probably about a

thousand so insulin resistance increases

insulin okay and then that will convert

to fat in the liver that’s kind of it

that’s where your body is going to dump

it first so the fat fills up it gets

inflamed it spills over around the

organs causing visceral fat it creates a

scar tissue you lose the function you

have the high liver enzymes and then you

develop diabetes so that’s the

progression and number two a fatty liver

that’s caused by alcohol okay now

between ninety and a hundred percent of

alcoholics have a fatty liver and of

course they’re going to also eventually

have high liver enzymes so alcohol does

destroy the liver and the enzymes that

are supposed to work through the liver

number three medications statin drugs

steroids Tylenol antibiotics all will

destroy the liver and there’s a lot more

as well and perform infection like

inflammatory conditions like hepatitis

and viruses certain parasites can do it

other microbes will do it epstein-barr

virus

cytomegalovirus number five cirrhosis

that’s scar tissue of the liver but of

course will cause the cirrhosis there’s

a fatty liver and insulin resistance so
