Welcome to HCM
These are a few of the liver enzymes
Any insult can raise the values – there are several of them - the most common ones are alcohol / virus (hepatitis) / drugs (including Paracetamol) etc. etc. …
Values 3 or more times the upper limit need urgent evaluation / otherwise, just follow up
If in doubt, see a Hepatologist (Gastroenterologist)
