Brief Answer:
high but slightly

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
These findings are not worrying since this is just slight elevation of liver markers and isnt indicating any disorder at this point. You need to repeat test in 4 weeks and if there is elevation to more than 70 then you should do liver ultrasound and check viral markers. Lipids are also slightly elevated,you should reduce fats in diet and regulated body weight. Also,some medications may cause elevated liver enzymes. All in all, this is not concerning but have frequent follow ups of lab findings. Wish you good health. Regards

Brief Answer:
Dietary changes should be considered at first instead of medicines

Detailed Answer:

At this point, elevated triglicerides should be managed only with dietary changes.

There is no need for any medications or supplements. Use olive oil, avoid fried food, avoid high sugar food and alcohol.

Findings should improve within 2 months as well as the liver enzymes.

Take care
