Hi, How are you?
It is very unusual for kidney stones to cause an elevation of liver enzymes. The only corealtion i could see is if you have taken a lot of pain killers which can elevate your liver enzymes. A level of 109 is not the highest levels I have seen, and I am sure it will subside by itself in the days to come.
Please do get an USG scan of the liver to rule out fatty liver.
Hope this helps and hope you start to feel better.
have a great day
