From my experience with elevated liver enzymes AST and ALT, I was told by my hepatologist that infections in the body such as the flu, etc. can cause liver enzymes to rise. That can be the reason the enzymes return to normal - because the infection has cleared. I found there are so many things that can cause these elevations. Of course diet, prescription meds, and supplements can also be the culprits.

@tillymack I don’t seem to have a problem with elevated enzymes. I do try to eat well, whole grains, vegetables and fruit etc. However, I think the problem is that the liver when healthy filters out the toxins we are exposed to every day and when that is impaired it affects our bodies ability to combat any kind of inflammation or infection. Here’s hoping we can find our way to good days, good friends, and all the things that make life grand. Thank you for your reply. It is good know we have people we can talk to here. I appreciate all of you.
