Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
If you have high bilirubin, you need to get the complete liver panel done.
Based on the liver enzyme levels only, further management can be planned.
The most common cause of abnormal liver function test is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Other causes include alcohol intake, viral infections etc.
The treatment depends on the cause.
You need to consult a gastroenterologist/hepatologist.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards.
