Hi thanks for asking question.
You have not mentioned which type of jaundice do you had in past??
You have taken antitb treatment which can lead hepatotoxicity and lead to hepatitis.so drug induce hepatitis could be cause.
Just now viral cause for hepatitis has to be ruled put by doing viral marker.HBSag carrier can lead its elevated value .
Fatty liver also can lead its elevated value.USG will be helpful for that.
Sometimes previous heart attack and muscle injury can lead to elevated liver enzymes.
It is better to repeat value after 3 month if cause not clear.
If still cause not clear and value increasing then USG and FNAC can be done as further work up.for that consult gastric surgeon.
I hope I have solve your query.
Regards;
Dr.parth
