Brief Answer:
Atorvastatin induced
Detailed Answer:
Hi
These levels may be high due to the medicine you are on.
And the levels are not alarming.
Personally I would suggest
1. hepatoprotective agents like udiliv
2. antioxidants
3. avoidance of alcohol if any.
If your cardiologist suggests, or if your lipid profile is normal, you can give atorvastatin a rest for a week. Repeat LFT in one week. If normal, you can restart medicine.
Best of luck
