Hello,
You are hepatitis A, B, C negative as per mentioned history. Rule out fatty liver by ultrasound abdomen scan. Your cholesterol levels also should be checked.
If fatty liver not present, then viral infection history should be taken as a temporary viral infection also can lead to elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Get back with reports for giving more comment
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
