HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that an infection is responsible for the increase. Blood tests for hepatitis b and c can be done to check for these infections.
In addition, other blood tests for the other liver enzymes such as sgot, alkaline phosphatase and GGT, would also need to be considered.
You may also need imaging such as an ultrasound of the abdomen to take a look at the liver.
I hope this helps
