See your doctor.: Yes this is high. Many reasons affect liver function tests. It typically means there is inflammation of the liver which can be caused by infections, alcohol, GI conditions (like gallbladder stones), acetaminophen, etc... See your doctor for further treatment.

Yes, high, see Dr...: Elevated Liver function tests may occur for a variety of issues from Fatty infiltration (hepatic steatosis), viral illnesses such as the hepatitis viruses, Alcoholism, increased use of medications that metabolize through the liver (such as Acetaminophen), cirrhosis, biliary disease, tumors, gallbladder disease, etc, etc. See Dr. to get an evaluation for the most likely cause of your LFT elevations
