Hello, Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. I had gone through all the data posted. your sugar levels are under control.
elevated liver enzymes is called hepatitis.
we need to search for the cause of Hepatitis. common causes include
viral hepatitis, alcohol induced, Non Alcoholic steatohepatitis( NASH) etc.

so we need to do viral markers like Hep B,Hep C. get a ultrasound done to look for echotexture of liver, spleen size and portal vein blood flow direction.

common these days is NASH, more common with diabetes, obesity, hypothyroidism.
there is no approved drug therapy for this but Udiliv can be given and main is therapeutic lifestyle changes like
weight loss, regular physical exercise, avoid oil foods.
Hope this helps..
