Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Yes your liver enzymes are raised which requires evaluation of the cause. Most common causes of such liver derangement's are Alcohol, Viral hepatitis, Non alcoholic fatty liver disease, Drugs which are hepato toxic.
Now, in case you consume alcohol, you would need evaluation for alcoholic liver disease and if you don't, then you need to get tested for Hepatitis B and C.
If your Hepatitis B and C are also negative, then an Ultrasound Abdomen would be required to rule out Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).
I would advise you to get following investigations done:
1. HBsAg for Hepatitis B.
2. Anti HCV Antibody for Hepatitis C.
3. Ultrasound Abdomen.
The treatment would be based on the cause found.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
