Thank you for posting query at HCM.
further evaluation needed.
whats your age? height? weight?
are you take any sort of medication?
viral serology>?
ultrasound abdomen.
anyhow,
increase in the level of liver enzymes reflect an INJURY to the Liver. medically, the condition is know as "Hepatitis". its maybe due to viral infection, excess fat, gall stones, excess alcohol, excess iron, and so on.
virus and alcohol are most common.
slightly elevated should NOT be concerning but a level more than 2 times the upper limit should be evaluated.
did you get HepB and C viral serology?and get a "Lipid Profile" test.
liver enzymes take one to two months to return to normal.
- abstinence from "Alcohol and drugs"
- very LOW or fat free diet should be followed for couple to few weeks
- Moreover, less activity should be carried out (no sports).
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
-recheck liver enzymes after 4 weeks.
- reduce weight if overweight
wish you good health.
further queries are welcomed.
