Thanks for posting your question on HCM!
I can understand your problem.
Decreased function of thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) is associated with elevated liver enzymes.
Most common causes for the elevation of liver enzymes are chronic alcohol intake, liver disease like fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc, gall bladder disease like cholecystitis.
Other causes are heart failure, obesity, muscle diseases.
Hair fall could be due to hypothyroidism.
You are advised to consult your doctor for the treatment of elevated liver enzymes and hair.
Wishing you a good health.
