Should I Worry About Elevated Liver Test Results?

I had a liver test, the normal range was from 0-32, my test results were 40. She stated that it was a little elevated. The rest of my blood work came out fine. At that time I was on Paxil. Should I worry about the test results? This summer I had my OBGYN run STD tests, unsure if they tested for Hepatitis C, but hope that was done in the screenings. What does the 40 mean?

it is slight elevated and has no importance in clinical practice, it may be from medication in use, common viral infection.
Yes it would be grate if you have hepatitis C negative.
