What Causes Elevated Liver Enzymes?

Hi I just went and had blood work done for my thyroid because I have been hypothyroid, and the tests came back that my TSH was stable by my liver enzymes were at 89 and 117. I am only 18 yrs old and 120 lbs. Have never drank alcohol or engaged in other risky behavior. I am very worried about hepatitis.
