Hi, I hope you are well, studying the elevation of liver enzymes is very important. Viral infectious causes such as hepatitis B and C should be initially ruled out. In addition, certain metabolic and autoimmune diseases must be pursued intentionally. In your case, the association of drug-induced liver damage should be sought, since your HP eradication regimen probably includes amoxicillin and clarithromycin, which can cause liver enzyme abnormalities. In any case, this is a diagnosis of exclusion, and should be evaluated narrowly over time.
