Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Siva and I am pleased to assist you.
Your AST and ALT are quite high. Your AST is more than ALT.
The gallbladder surgery and the bile leak you had may not be the cause.
The most common cause for this kind of resulst is alcoholic hepatitis. A complete liver panel and an ultrasound scan of the abdomen would provide more clue on what is the cause for these raised liver enzymes.
I hope that answers your question.
