Liver Damage: Yes. These liver tests are remarkably abnormal and represent significant danger for your liver and your life. The cause of these abnormalities must be found and treated appropriately. And, this is an urgent problem.

Yes indeed: Your physician may take you off all meds and alcohol and repeat, or simply go on to test you for hepatitis b and c, hemochromatosis, wilson's, autoimmune hepatitis and perhaps a few others. If no cause is found, aerobic exercise may be the way to better all-around health and lower liver enzymes.
