Raised Liver enzymes

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Once the insulting cause for the liver dysfunction is stopped it will take about 4 to 6 weeks for the enzymes to return back to normal. Based on the details provided you seem to have stopped the culprits. You should check with your doctor is there are other causes.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
