Hello,
Liver enzymes are slightly elevated. It is not a sign of cancer. You can go for an ultrasound abdomen to rule out conditions like fatty liver. You have to restrict the alcohol use to prevent further liver damage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
