237SJ......Hi!
Mum is 82 years of age and liver function tests have been reported as abnormal............that is my take on the situation.
If you had posted this question some 20years ago. then the answer would have been that it was alcohol related.
However, obesity and diabetes causing a fatty liver has taken over as the commonest cause and yes a high blood cholesterol is associated with this diagnosis.
Aged 82,abnormal liver function tests due to a fatty liver is not the end of the world and can be turned around by a change in lifestyle.
Type 2 diabetes and hypertension will have to be excluded as they are often associated with a fatty liver.
Luckily you have not asked me my opinion re statins for your mother ;-)
No need to worry, just keep me up to date with further investigations.
