Elevated liver enzymes post liver transplant

Posted by crystalfaye @crystalfaye, Aug 15, 2022

Hello everyone! I am nine weeks post liver transplant and have seen my enzymes trending upward although my bilirubin is well within the normal range. I was just wondering what your experience may have been? I’m thinking perhaps an issue with the bile ducts. I see the doc on Thursday. Thank you for your input.

The dipper will identify rejection and other items. In my case they found a pressure build up due to scar tissue pinching the blood flow. This was corrected via a procedure. However my enzymes are always at the upper end of normal abd slightly above. I am 27 months post

@bobscozz0927 Thank you- helpful to know there are things to look for other than rejection. I guess let go of my catastrophic thinking! At this point my #s went down a little and they will be checked in two weeks. At that time they may do a Doppler but we’ll see. Hard to wait.
