Hi and welcome to HCM Thanks for the query.
there are various causes of hepatitis but if you mean viral hepatitis then it cant be determine donly by lfts. you should do viral markers to rule viral heaptitis. but these are very midlly elevated lfts so i dont think there is serious liver damage. it may be just the beginning of fatty liver or gallbladder stone.
Wish you good health. Regards
