Hi - sorry your post is illegible - could you maybe re-format it to at least split out the numbers?

Lizzielaylaya,

I had high liver enzymes before managing to optimise thyroid hormones.

The liver metabolises hormones, filters toxins, cleans the blood, converts thyroid hormones from T4-T3 and influences cholesterol & other lipids.

Hashimotos//hypothyroidism can slow these processes resulting in high cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides and raised liver enzymes. High cholesterol is also caused by a slowing down of the gall bladder which metabolises liver byproducts.

Thyroid hormone affects detoxification pathways in the liver and insulin growth factor and cytochrome P450 enzymes which metabolize lots of drugs and environmental toxins.

Thyroid hormone is converted primarily through 2 processes: Glucornidation and sulfation. Datis Kharrazian says Glucoronidation is an important process for converting thyroid hormone & is supported by B vitamins and magnesium.

Sulfation involves binding things partially broken down in the liver with sulfur containing compounds and is one of the major detoxification pathways for neurotransmitters, toxins, and hormones (like thyroid hormones).

I refused all intrusive tests until thyroid hormones were optimised, which took about two years, over which time many health issues righted themselves .... including elevated liver enzymes.
