Dear Friend. Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. In the drugs mentioned Statins most commonly cause deranged liver enzymes. I would suggest you to get an Ultrasound Abdomen done and also to get Viral markers done. Also, stop consuming alcohol, even in moderated amount. This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me. Stay Healthy. Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
