Find the cause : Your physician will rule in/out meds, hepatitis b and C, hemochromatosis, Wilson's and autoimmune hepatitis. Your body may simply be asking for more exercise. No alcohol till we get this puzzled out.

See below: These could mean two things most likely. First, were you fasting for the blood test? If so, these numbers will normally be a little high. I would recommend re-checking them in 1-2 months when not fasting. Second, depending on your diet, you could have early fatty liver disease. To mitigate this, reduce dairy, fats, sweets, etc. - e.g. parantha, ghee, cream, whole milk, sweets, etc.

Not harm, a warning: The elevated enzymes themselves will not harm you. But this often signals serious underlying disease. If you have smoldering hepatitis B or C, your life will be short and end unpleasantly. If you have undiagnosed hemochromatosis, it will kill you; death from missed Wilson's is even more brutal. All of these are treatable. Or the test may simply mean you need more exercise. Get it sorted out.
