Liver enzymes can increase due to a variety of causes such as medicines, alcohol, infections, dysfunction etc, But you levels alone cannot confirm any of these or risk of cancer. It is important to see what you ultrasound scan says about you liver. Sometimes if a treatable underlying cause is treated the levels may come down.
