In dengue fever liver enzymes are known to rise mild to moderately. They peak by 9th day. In most case they start to come down there after. In 2 weeks time they are supposed to return to normal. I`m sure very soon your liver enzymes will also be normal. If they still remain high, i suggest you consult a gastroenterologist.
