LIVER enzymes high? Does protein shakes the reason?

[NOLOGY77]

Hello there i have run some blood test and everything is very good except liver enzymes are a little bit high. I am 34 years old, training 3-4 times per day and consume protein whey, nitrox powder and BCAA.

I eat mostly chicken, tuna, almond nuts, oats eggs etc. Shall some of these caused this problem?

wide range of health problems can lead to elevated liver enzymes.

Some common causes include:

Adrenal insufficiency (inadequate levels of hormones released by the adrenal gland)
Alcohol abuse
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (a disorder caused by defective production of the glycoprotein alpha-1-antitrypsin)
Autoimmune disorders of the liver and bile ducts, such as autoimmune hepatitis
Celiac disease
Diabetes
Elevated triglycerides (fat tissues)
Excessive use of certain herbal supplements, such as comfrey, kava, pennyroyal, and skullcap
Hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
Infections such as viral hepatitis and mononucleosis
Medications including certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, cholesterol-lowering medications, antibiotics, anti-seizure medications, and acetaminophen
Metabolic liver disease such as hemochromatosis and Wilson's disease
Muscle disorders
Obesity
Thyroid disorders
Tumors of the liver or bile ducts

Ok this thread is a few months old, but just an FYI.
About a year ago my liver enzymes were through the roof, at least ATL and AST were. The one that starts with a "G" was normal.
The only change I had made was going back to the gym and drinking protein shakes after every session.
I stopped drinking protein shakes and my liver enzymes went back to normal (I think I waited like 3 months before retesting).

I have no way to prove that the protein powder was to blame, but it's hard not to. On the other hand if you already found a different culprit please let me know, it may apply to me as well, our stories are way too similar.
