Yes: This reflects that there is something causing enough inflammation for these enzymes to end up in your blood at higher levels than normal. It'll take more information to better determine the cause of the inflammation. I'm not aware of persistent inflammation stemming from past TB treatments but only when actively taking some of the drugs.
