These are not high levels. Some residual scarring of the gut certainly can do that. other irritants of the liver (I've had patients with severe cirrhosis from organic chemicals from breathing solvents daily for years without any ventillation), or other conditions such as hepatitis. Often no cause is foound for irritaiton of the liver with enzyme levels double normal or less.
