Looking for causes for elevated liver enzymes

For whatever reason, my liver enzymes levels are back in the normal range. Have been for the last 6 or 7 years. Doesn't mean that PSC is gone, just that the liver enzymes are normal. The enzyme levels never fluctuated when I stopped alcohol. The first time the enzymes were found to be high I was 45 years old. A full diagnosis wasn't done until I was about 65. Diagnosis is small duct PSC done with a liver biopsy. Now I am 85 and still going strong. I always figured that I would die with PSC and not from PSC.

@suerte, I'm extremely happy for you! I don't meet many patients with PSC, so it is good to hear from you.
I always knew that my PSC could lead to a liver transplant, and in my case, it did. I was 60 when I received my transplant, and am doing well. I have annual check-ups with my transplant team while continuing routine blood labs every 3 months, and maintaining my antirejection medication schedule.
Are you still being monitored with labs? Do you take any medications for the PSC?
