Recently I went to the doctor and was told I have high blood pressure. She took a lot of blood and did various tests, and when the results came back, she said I am basically fine except for my HBP and that my liver seems to be producing too many enzymes. More blood tests over time have shown the same results.
Are there medical illnesses that can have the overproduction of liver enzymes as an early indication? My doctors are focusing only on the HBP and I can't get them to discuss the liver issue with me because it is not my "primary medical issue".
They tell me that my liver produces too many enzymes in an "Oh, by the way..." manner and leave it at that. I wish to know of any potential issues that could arrise with this symptom.
On a further note. I have also been diagnosed with gall stones and am scheduled to have my gall bladder removed. Don't know if that makes a difference, but figured I'd throw that in, just in case it does.

Liver enzymes are produced in the case of some damages to liver. That damage could be due to the high BP. So, go along with the treatment right now and request for an appointment with a gastroenterologist for further advice.
