You had hepatitis: Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver..so yes you DO have hepatitis. So chemical, bacterial, viral and autoimmune could be the problem. As you mentioned AST, ALT and GGT are the liver enzymes monitored and are specific and sensitive markers. ESR is a very very non-specific tool that is not exclusively tied to liver inflammation. The important thing is that the liver numbers normalized.

ESR: ESR (sedimentation rate) is a very non specific test of inflammation anywhere in your body. If your liver functions have normalized and you dont have hepatitis, I suspect the mildly elevated ESR has nothing to do with it.

Elevated LFTs: Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver and reflects many different diseases.Elevated liver function tests, SGPT/SGOT means you have hepatitis but it may not be infectious like Hepatitis B/C but may be from other causes like autoimmune disease, gallbladder,medications,mets, or fatty liver. In hepatitis the enzyme levels vary. Please follow up with gastroenterology this week, check sonogram,
