Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic...

According to your history you have elevated liver enzymes with using some drugs also...

Short term use not lead to enzymes elevation....

If you have right hypochondrium pain , vomiting like features then viral hepatitis ruled out by viral marker study...

Infectious mononucleosis , cytomegalovirus and some other viral infection also can lead enzyme elevation...

USG helpful to rule out fatty liver which also can lead enzymes elevation.
If you have gall stone then also it can occur....

Take low fatty diet...
Avoid alcohol.....

Regular follow up needed with repeat viral marker after few days....

If you have history of celiac disease or heart problem then also enzymes elevation can occur....

Hope your concern solved....

Take care.............
