Hello

You may have had elevated liver enzymes like ALT,AST.
Increased ALT and AST may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,viral markers,lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.

You are rightly suggested to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
You should avoid saturated fat.

Get well soon.
Take Care
