Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). Your AST and ALT (liver enzymes) are slightly high. Elevation of liver enzymes suggest injury to liver cells.There are many causes for elevation of liver enzyme like alcohol intake, Hepatitis B and C virus, wilson disease, autoimmune liver disease for which you need to be tested. So you may visit your doctor for these tests.
Also meanwhile what you should do is:
1. Avoid alcohol if you take
2. If you are overweight or obese then do weight reduction by diet and exercise
3. take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300mg tds and Cap evion 400mg od
4. take multivitamins also

Also get your blood sugar levels, ultrasound abdomen also

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
