Thank you for posting your query.
increase in the level of liver enzymes reflect an INJURY to the Liver. medically, the condition is know as "Hepatitis".

You need to test for "HepB & C" serology too as well as "Lipid Profile".
if all causes of hepatitis are ruled out , then

- abstinence from "Alcohol and drugs"
- LOW or fat free diet should be followed
- Moreover, less activity should be carried out (no sports).
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
-recheck liver enzymes after 2 to 4 weeks.


wish you good health.
