Hello
Welcome to HCM.
The values which you have mentioned are not significantly raised. No active medical intervention is required at this level. I would advice you to get bilirubin levels checked.
If yiu have quit your iv drugs in recent past, the enzyme elevation may be due to that. It will subside on its own.
You need to avoid fatty diet and any other drug of abuse in future.
Hope this help.
Thanks.
