Elevated liver enzymes due to acetaminophen?

From my experience as a medical professional, I really don’t think that would deter them from surgery. That is just a slight elevation. I’m sure your doctor will relay the same thing to you. Acetaminophen can be taken for short duration’s at 4000 mg per day. If you were taking other medication‘s that are processed through the liver that Hass to be taken into consideration as well. Also, if alcohol is consumed, that is processed through the liver. But overall I would not be that concerned with those numbers at this point. But they do deserve to be watched. I hope that was helpful and relieved some of your stress.

Thank you for your reply Dishpain. I will find out hopefully on the 17th if the SGOT has normalized. I don't drink or have any other meds that may have raised the enzyme level. It's good to know that you thought that it was just a slight elevation. That was information that no one would comment on. I will mention in my pre-op appointment that acetaminophen and NSAIDs are something that possibly should not be given to me after the surgery in view of the bad experience with them recently.
