If one has NAFLD or NASH wouldn’t it show up first in elevated liver enzymes?

Hi Joy

You would think so and many docs use that as their trigger to investigate. The problem is that many people get all the way to stage 4 cirrhosis without having elevated enzymes. If the liver damage is slow the chemistry stays in the normal range until the organ starts to fail. Way too late to be identifying the damage in our opinion.
