A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many ??: Are you overweight? Fatty liver can do this. Exposure to viral hepatitis? High fat diet? Any medications? (even otc or herbal things). Liver functions are not especially worrisome until 10-20 times normal because so many things are possible to impact them. The liver is the toxic dump of the body--- it breaks down all the junk we put in thru lifestyle or habits/recreation.
