Obese people often have very fatty liver and develop Chirossis (sp) from it. I also have elevated liver enzymes. My skinny sister is now dying from liver cancer and my alcoholic father died from chirossis.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 Slightly elevated liver enzymes are pretty common for us. I was able to bring mine into normal ranges with milk thistle.
