Hi thanks for asking question
Normally liver enzymes are up to 42.
Your liver enzymes are mildly elevated.
It can be viral or other form of hepatitis.
So to rule out viral hepatitis viral marker done and ultrasound reveal whether is hepatitis or other liver disorder.
So better you do these investigation.
According to your history you have more prone for hepatitis b as you have prick while working.
If HBSag antigen viral marker remain positive after 6 month then you are hepatitis b carrier.
You can have sub acute early hepatitis .
So don't worry .investigate with blood and USG.
Wish you good health.
