Prescription Medications (Low-grade elevation of AST/ALT) Certain prescription medications can also cause liver damage

No differences were found in hepatic biochemical levels in women who received estrogen When beta-glucuronidase is high, it indicates that estrogen is being recirculated in the body rather than being eliminated
Nonetheless, it is accepted, that A study on women with T2D documented that low doses of hormone replacement therapy significantly reduced liver enzymes: AST, ALT, GGT (γ-glutamyltransferase), and ALP (alkaline phosphatase) in serum, the elevated estrogen production induced to a higher aromatase activity could induce liver tumor cell growth
Leuprolide is a parenterally administered, gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist which causes an inhibition of estrogen and androgen production and is used predominantly to treat advanced prostate cancer
Liver enzymes can return to normalcy in as many as 77% to 83% of patients once the initiations of thionamides are started in a timely fashion, which can help forestall complications and prevent or minimize multi-organ dysfunction
Produced primarily in the ovaries, estrogen is also produced in the adrenals and fat tissues
Too few digestive enzymes, too much bad gut bacteria Liver enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and other markers of liver injury are increased in NAFLD
The herbal medications chaparral, comfrey tea, kava, skullcap, yohimbe, ji bu huan and ephedra
Local estrogen bioavailability can be regulated by liver enzymes which include aromatase and 17β-HSD family members [92,93]
