I have had an ileostomy surgery for 20 years and now I have high liver enzymes. I want to know if this kind of surgery affects the liver. Thank you, and I don't drink.

I don't think it is directly connected. I am sure you are having this checked by a physician. There are several reasons for an elevation of liver enzymes, some of which may be benign.

I got liver disease several years after developing UC but before I had ostomy surgery. My doctor said some doctors suspect a correlation but a link has not been proven.
