Brief Answer:
RElax. Needs more information
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
You should continue drugs for high blood pressure and diabetes.
Some of the drugs commonly used by diabetic for co-morbid conditions like lipid lowering drug can cause raised in liver enzymes so if taking any drug just discuss with your doctor.
Your liver enzymes are slightly raised and no need to worry much as this will get back to normal without any medications. Your total bilirubin also raised. So I want few more information on your investigations like what is direct and indirect bilirubin levels, HbA1c and urine bilirubin and urine urobilinogen levels. These will help in pointing the cause for your problem.
For now drink plenty of water and have nutritious food. Avoid fatty food. Get back with the information required.
I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you good health and faster recovery.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Suggest liver problem or obstruction to drainage
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Raised direct bilirubin suggest some problem in liver or in the drainage. So check for urine bilirubin and urine urobilinogen levels to find the cause. Also better to look for HBa1c level and HAV level (to find if infected with hepatitis B and Hepatitis A).
Also you need to monitor liver enzymes as the current level needs no extra management but if it increases then needs to be concerned. For now have only high calorie nutritious food and avoid alcoholic beverages, any extra medications if not absolute necessary. These will help you.
Hope this information helps you.
Wish you good health.
