i am not a doctor but will give you my opinions based upon the information provided with your question. sometimes fatty liver disease may cause hypertension. is your son overweight? fatty liver disease is often seen in overweight individuals and raises liver enzymes such as sgot. another liver enzyme ggt when found in high levels has been associated with hypertension. i suspect that the pediatric endocrinologist determined a high liver enzyme level during your son’s latest testing of his blood serum. i feel that the endocrinologist is making an appropriate referral in order to rule out liver disease for your son.
my son has very low t doc. said his blood pressure is high and would like us to see a liver specialist why? . we've been seeing a pediatric endocrinologist for just about a year and my son has always had high blood pressure readings. we recently did some lab work and he doctor now feels that he needs to see a liver specialist for possible liver disease. he is not on any medication now. my question is what would make him want to go this route and what type of liver disease might this bring on? in your opinion please.
