Reclaim Your Skin

Hey Chicago,

All I know is that Roacc can raise your ‘Liver Enzymes’, which indicate that there is liver damage occurring. I can assume in our case it is very minor and returns to normal post-Roacc. Below is from the medical site http://www.medicinenet.com/liver_blood_tests/article.htm:
_________________________________________________
“An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the presence of certain liver enzymes in the blood. Under normal circumstances, these enzymes reside within the cells of the liver. But when the liver is injured, these enzymes are spilled into the blood stream.”

“Among the most sensitive and widely used of these liver enzymes are the aminotransferases. They include aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT). These enzymes are normally contained within liver cells. If the liver is injured, the liver cells spill the enzymes into blood, raising the enzyme levels in the blood and signaling the liver damage.”

Kind of scary! But i’m guessing slight liver enzyme elevation is acceptable!

Hope this helps!
