What Causes Elevated Values Of Liver Enzymes?

Yes hi. I have recently had blood work done and my doctor said my liver enzymes are elevated. I ve also been on a low dose of thyroid medicine for about 6 weeks now. For the past week I have noticed slight swelling on the top of my right foot and ankle. Could that be liver related?
