Hepatitis: Elevated liver enzymes suggest hepatitis which is a fancy way of saying inflamed liver. Lots of reasons for hepatitis including alcohol, acetaminophen, other medications, environmental exposures & infections (in past, mainly from blood transfusions, but these days more likely from sexual encounters & dirty needles (tattoos & drugs)). Genetics (hemochromatosis) can do this, too. Go see your doc!
