Brief Answer:
there is mild elevation in enzymes but need to establish the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
there is ast and alt elevation ,to establish the cause you need to get an ultra sound abdomen to rule out any fatty liver or chronic liver disease.
HbsAg and anti HCV by elisa to be ruled out .
if everything is normal then we need to think of other rare causes ,but if there is fatty liver then the cause of deranged LFT would be answeref.
For which ask your dad to avoid oily and spicy food ,diet modification with daily physical activity is must and regular monitoring of LFT once in 3 months till it is normalized .
