Elevated Liver Enzymes, Changed Diet, Lost Weight, Still Enzyme Level Increasing. Any Ideas?

Hello, my husbands liver enzymes were elevated last blood test along with a fatty liver. He drasitcally changed his diet, quit smoking and drinking for a month and has lost 25 lbs. He re-took the bloodwork and the Dr. said his enzymes are significantly increased and needs to see GI....Any clues why they would worsen instead of get better?

Hi, the changes in the liver, and damage are not converted simply with the change of diet and habbits, there could be a possibility of the hepatitis B,or obstruction to the biliary duct system also. So there is a necesity of consulting a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatement. Thank you.
