Hi thanks for asking question.
Here are few possibility.
1.First both this enzymes elevated mostly because of viral hepatitis.ultrasound examination and viral marker done to rule out it.your enzymes mildly elevated so early hepatitis might be present.
2.Non alcoholic fatty liver may lead to elevated enzymes.ultrasound useful for it.
3.If habit of alcohol then alcohol induced hepatic damage might elevate these enzymes.
4.If you are taking certain drugs then drug induce liver damage also has to be ruled out.
5.Sometime muscle problem and known heart disease then it might lead to elevated enzymes.
If still these enzymes elevated for long duration then liver biopsy has to be done.
Wish you good health.
