    It can be anything. Sometimes is just very minor things and sometimes can indicate some illness like a fatty liver or other problems. Your doctor need to monitor that and if you continue to have elevated liver enzymes, I will suggest to have an abdominal echography. I had elevated liver enzymes for 10 years and no doctor seemed to find it abnormal. It turned out to be a fatty liver and now i have scarring in the liver, not good. So please be careful.

    Hello,

    I've got high readings as well, everything else seems to be fine. I've been referred to a Gastroenterologist.

    Have you had any updates?
