B and c negative.i don't drink
Brief Answer:
Need to get ANA test
Detailed Answer:
I would suggest to get ANA test along with tests for hepatitis A and E.
As high enzymes could be because of acute hepatitis A or E in which case they should normalize within 4 weeks.
In case your enzymes (SGOT and SGOT)are persistently high after 4 weeks or if the above tests are negative then you need to consult a gastroenterologist to evaluate the cause of liver disease
Hope this helps
