Hepatitis: These numbers indicate that there's something going on with your liver, such as viral hepatitis or damage from toxins such as alcohol or drugs. You should see a doctor.

chemical hepatitis: You have an inflamed liver. Alcohol, obesity, and viral infection are the 3 most common causes. Lisinopril doesn't cause this but other drugs can. You need specific blood tests to determine the cause. Your alt should be followed at intervals until it normalizes. Your elevations are very mild. They may already be getting better?
