Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
Yes it can be caused by chemo and this is probable cause, but if there are other asociated symptoms such as jaundice, pain or fever you should do liver ultrasound and check viral markers to rule out other liver disorders.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
