Answers:

I had this happen to me recently. Got the abnormal liver function test results and went in for an ultrasound. The imaging showed nothing, so I'm going back in a few months for another blood test.

Liver function tests can be elevated if your liver is damaged by drinking, enlarged gallbladder, fatty liver, or other direct trauma or disease and is releasing enzymes. The enzymes checked during the test are not solely excreted by the liver. So if you work out strenuously, this may cause them to be elevated. If they are serverely out of range, I wouldn't worry. By definition, 5% of healthy, normal people will fall out of the laboratory ranges.

Best of luck to you.
