I just got the results of my blood work and it said my thyroid level was 4.81 and my liver was at elevated levels. I see they may be related and want to know if it indicates aproblem. I also have been loosing hair since Dec or Jan. I am 70 year old woman. thank you
Thanks for posting your question on Chat Doctor! I can understand your problem. Decreased function of thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) is associated with elevated liver enzymes. Most common causes for the elevation of liver enzymes are chronic alcohol intake, liver disease like fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc., gall bladder disease like cholecystitis. Other causes are heart failure, obesity, muscle diseases. Hair fall could be due to hypothyroidism. You are advised to consult your doctor for the treatment of elevated liver enzymes and hair. Wishing you a good health.
