I was told I had high Liver Enzymes...?

Question:

What are symptoms of this? What causes it? I am a young heathly guy who works out regularly, doesnt take any medication and drinks on occasion and that isnt very often.

Answers:
Elevated liver enzymes in a normally healthy person can occur after a night of drinking, or if you are suffering from a variety of temporary illnesses.
The purpose of measuring enzymes ALT and AST with a regular full blood count is to get an idea of overall health. If you are otherwise healthy, the level of elevation can determine your next steps. For levels only slightly higher than "normal" it is usually not a concern. For significantly raised ALT or AST, you'll probably need to go back to the dr. for more investigating for the cause. In any case, your MD should have you back in a few weeks to test them again.

Drinking can still affect your liver, so can tylenol, with out more details its hard to know, Whats your Doctor say about this?

Sometimes if you drink a day or two before your physical, it will show up as high enzymes, even though you don't drink a lot on a regular basis.
