hi.
thanks for posting query at hcm.
seems like its drug induced liver injury. however, viral causes of hepatitis maybe ruled out.
present values are not very concerning.
monitor values every 3 to 6 months,
if values are increasing and viral causes are ruled out, then you may need to stop/change the current medications by discussing with treating physician.
wish you good n sound health.
regards
dr Tayyab Malik
