Brief Answer:
Please upload the reports.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Liver enzymes may be raised for a number of reasons. I would insist you to upload the entire liver function test report for me to be able to comment. Also mention if you are an alcoholic and whether you had any recent illnesses. Please mention details about what sort of parasite you are talking about and how was it diagnosed. Based on your inputs I would have to find the cause. The answer to your question will depend upon the same.

I will await your response.
