please do tests for leptospirosis and tuberculosis. In leptospirosis( spread by rat s urine), the liver enzymes are elevated but bilirubin does not rise till much later. TB can also cause raised liver enzymes due to granulomatous hepatitis. there are other sinister causes lymphoma which can be diagnosed by a bone marrow biopsy if the above 2 diagnosis are ruled out.
