Hi,
The almond doesn't have a direct correlation with elevated liver enzymes.
For elevated liver enzymes, first rule out fatty liver by USG abdomen scan and then viral marker study if needed.
If liver enzymes elevation is not more than two folds elevation then no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
