Hi thanks for contacting HCM....
Noted you had dengue infection...
It can elevate enzymes and affect liver but presentation not Severe....
Smoke weed I don't think elevate enzymes...
Here confection of other vital hepatitis virus had to be searched for.....
You need to be investigated with.....
-USG
-Viral marker study by ELISA test
Meanwhile take rest...
Fruits like papaiya , apple , mango etc more.
Fatty and fried food less.
Trans fat diet less like cheese , pizza, junk foods and meat ....
Avoid alcohol....
If you have any cardiac or muscular problem history within short time then yes enzymes can elevated....
Repeat enzymes after month and follow up done to gastroentetologist.......
