Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The mild rise in liver enzymes that you are having might be due to taking the cholesterol lowering agent and mild alcohol intake. The investigations that have been recommended to you are to rule out any liver pathology.
This mild rise in liver enzymes is not any life threatening problem and these revert back to normal once the offending agent is stopped. This should not affect your chances of getting the job.
You can do some lifestyle modifications like quitting alcohol or tobacco use and losing any extra weight. In addition to the low fat low cholesterol diet, you should add more soluble fibre in your diet. Good sources of soluble fiber include oats, certain fruits (such as oranges and pears) and vegetables (such as brussels sprouts and carrots), and dried peas and beans. Include aerobics in your daily fitness routine.
I hope this answers your query effectively.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
