Brief Answer:
Liver enzymes are elevated.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I see the lab tests you have done and the liver enzymes and ferritin levels are increased.
The increased liver enzymes are not common after taking iron supplements .
This can show impaired liver functions.
You may have liver toxicity and need to contact your doctor to monitor liver functions .

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
thanks.
