Some posters have mentioned that. For me, I got elevated pancreatic enzymes.

If liver enzymes were elevated it would be wise to get a ultrasound done as well. It is possible to have elevated ALT AST after months of Cdiff treatment , but I would still check it out to rule out other causes. I too had elevated liver enzymes during Cdiff but I was also on drugs to treat pulmonary TB and everybody knows that those drugs have very high liver toxicity.
