HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned about any deviation from the normal values but the slight increase would not indicate any significant impairment of the liver function.
An increase is considered mild if the value is less than 2 times the upper limit.
Slight increases are often due to non alcoholic fatty liver disease which refers to the build of fat in the liver due to diet and activity.
I hope this helps
