Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, it may be due to alcohol intake, medications you may be taking and/or from being overweight. If you drink, stop entirely and discuss any medications you take with your doctor.

I have had elevated Liver enzymes, Alt and Ast, for 5 years. I have had my gallbladder removed and been tested for all of the basics that would cause liver damage. Should I be concerned? I have had some abdominal bloating and swelling in my legs.
