Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
There are many different causes raised liver enzymes. The two most common causes being fatty liver disease and side effects of certain medications. Make sure that you are not taking any liver damaging medications. Get an ultrasound scan done to look for fatty liver.
You should also get tested for other causes that include viral infections (hepatitis group of viruses) , autoimmune and metabolic diseases.

I hope that answers your query.
Regards.
