hi
mild increase in the liver enzymes is usually not indicative of the liver damage especially if only one enzyme is raised.
oral contraceptive pills can cause transient increase in the liver enzymes .
please recheck the levels in 6-8 weeks if it is increasing , you may need to go for further investigations to rule out liver damage.
Thanks.
