Hello,
Elevated liver enzymes could be because of several causes ( viral, congenital, metabolic, autoimmune, Elevated sugar levels or uncontrolled diabetes, Elevated thyroid levels, high cholesterol levels, but they can be transiently elevated in some systemic infections, so getting your self investigated with basic viral markers, sugars, thyroid, cholesterol levels, with an USG abdomen is essential, if anything is positive , specific treatment can be started , but if they are negative, you should be completely evaluated by your Gastroenterologist. Hope I could help you.
Thank you.
