So, What's the big deal about elevated liver enzymes??

Liver enzymes are very sensitive and can elevate for both temporary insignificant health issues, or elevated liver enzymes may be an indicator of a significant health issue. 

When it comes to your liver, term life insurance companies are very cautious and take a conservative approach. 

If you have elevated liver enzymes, you will need to prove to life insurance underwriters that you don't have a significant health issue....otherwise you will be declined or pay much more than necessary for term life insurance.

Health Problems Associated with Elevated Liver Enzymes

Hepatitis - is a serious inflamation of your liver, and can lead to cirrhosis of your liver.

Cirrhosis - is irreversible scarring and damage to your liver.  Cirrhosis is a significant health problem and most cases makes you uninsurable with life insurance companies.

Alcohol Abuse - Elevated Liver Enzymes may be an indicator of alcohol abuse.

Biliary Obstructions - Gallstones, cancer, cholangitis

The above liver problems are all significant health problems that life insurance underwriters are concerned about. 

If you have elevated liver enzymes and the cause is unknown, the above need to be ruled out in order to get you term life insurance.  We can help you.

What Else May Elevate Your Liver Enzymes? 

Exercise - That's right...exercise may get you declined for life insurance!  We provide paramed exam tips to you to ensure that you avoid potential problems in life insurance underwriting. 

You need to fast prior to your paramed exam and we typically recommend that you schedule your paramed exam in the morning to ensure the best results. 

If you exercise, your liver enzymes may stay elevated for hours after exercising.  Do not exercise on the day of your paramed exam until after the exam!

Medications - Medications such as aspirin, tylenol, etc... may elevate your liver enzymes.  It is important that you tell your paramed examiner if you have taken any medications prior to your exam, even over the counter medications. 

There are also a number of other prescription medications such as dilantin, phenobarbital, allopurinol, antibiotics, acne treatment medications, certain arthritis medications, and others that may elevate your liver enzymes.

Sickness - If you are sick or just had an illness, postpone your paramed exam.  Sickness is known to elevate liver enzymes.

Alcohol - Even an occasional glass of alcohol may elevate your liver enzymes.  It is best to avoid alcohol prior to taking your paramed exam.  If you indicate that you had alcohol recently and your liver enzymes are elevated, life insurance underwriters (right or wrong) may think you have an alcohol issue as well.

I have elevated liver enzymes, now what? 

We need to discuss your case and history.  If the elevated liver enzymes can be tied to a temporary situation such as exercise, illness, medications, etc.. we may be able to resolve this simply by getting the life insurance underwriter to agree to accept a new paramed exam from you. 

In more serious elevations of liver enzymes, life insurance underwriters may be looking for additional tests to rule out significant liver problems.

Liver Enzyme Tests:

The three main liver enzyme tests that life insurance companies test for are:

GGTP - Gamma Glutamyl Transferase - Also known as GGT test.  GGTP levels greater than 65 U/L are considered to be significant. 

SGOT - Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transferase - Also known as AST.  SGOT levels greater than 45 U/L are considered to be elevated.

SGPT - Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transferase - Also known as ALT.  SGPT levels greater than 45 U/L are considered elevated.

From a term life insurance underwriting standpoint, we encounter elevated liver enzymes all the time. 

In most cases, the elevation was temporary and once resolved, we are able to obtain term life insurance at competitive rates. 

For some other cases, if there is a health issue that is causing the elevated liver enzymes, we are able to help obtain life insurance from a number of impaired risk life insurance companies in many cases.
