Hi,
After going through the medication history and lab results, it appears you had drug induced hepatitis.
Due to the drug induced hepatocellular injury, the enzyme levels are elevated moderately.
Its nothing to worry, now that the liver toxic drugs are stopped, her liver enzymes will come back to normal limits within fifteen days.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
