Question:
Surgery rescheduled due to high liver enzymes.. anyone else?

Does any one know how serious high liver enzymes are going in to surgery? I was all clear for my pre op and got clearance for surgery then 5 days later my live enzymes went up 3x what they are suppose to be. Does any one know why this happens? Has anyone gone into surgery with high liver enzymes? My surgery is rescheduled for May 12th..is there anything I can do about it? Thank you    — christina L. (posted on April 12, 2003)

My hubby ALMOST had his surgery postponed because of liver enzymes. He was literally waiting in pre-op and gave him the ok RIGHT before they took him in. Some sort of special doc evaluated the blood tests and ok'd him. He had the stomach flu about a week before the surgery was scheduled and this is what caused the abnormal tests. They just kept having him go in and have his blood tested every day. By the day of surgery, they could see that they were dropping to almost normal - so they went ahead with surgery. Maybe drink a lot of water and take extra vitamin C to kill any infections you might be fighting off. Good luck!
