Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
You should keep your BP under strict control to prevent any further kidney damage.
I don't find any obvious reason in your history for rise in liver enzymes.
Fatty liver can progress to chronic liver disease.
Also we must evaluate why your liver enzymes are raised.
None of the drugs you have mentioned injure liver.
But one drug that you have not mentioned but is commonly prescribed to hypertensives is Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin. In case you are taking any of these medicines for cholesterol control let me know. They can also effect liver enzymes.
In case you are not taking, I advice you following investigations:
1. HBsAg and Anti HCV antibody.
2. Ultrasound abdomen.
Review with reports.
