There are many reasons that the liver enzymes might be elevated. To figure out why, we start by looking at the actual values, the relative increase of each and the trend in the elevation. Your complete medical history and physical exam are also needed. Once we have a suspicion for why the enzymes are high, we can provide advice or further testing as needed. I cannot determine the cause without a lot more information. If the numbers stay elevated then you will need to see a GI or liver specialist.
