Hello,
For elevated liver enzymes, ultrasonography of the abdomen should be planned and viral marker study need to be done. You are having a family history of PBC. So you can rule it out by certain antibody estimation like AMA estimation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
