I have reviewed your query and here is my advice

I need to know how much your liver enzymes has been Elevated.Mild rise cannot be much troublesome. Fatty liver, viral hepatitis etc like condition also has to be ruled out. USG abdomen scan, Hbsag ELISA testing and HCV antibody testing also can be done. If than needed antibody work up can be done to rule out autoimmune hepatitis.

Hope I have answered your query.
