Brief Answer:
Not serious

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Need not worry the enzyme levels are not too high as to expect any serious liver issues.

Such values can be seen in mild liver swelling, minimal fatty liver and even after a fatty meal.

If test is performed few hours after a fatty meal such readings can be seen.

Please share the Ultrasound report once its out.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
