I have had elevated enzymes and had an untrasound and cat scan.
What could be wrong?

My AST and ALT have both been elevated for a while; I was dx with fatty liver. But I had my gall bladder out two months ago (acalculus cholecystitis - inflammation and no gallstones) and since then the AST is normal (25 - was 36) and the ALT is 44 (down from 66). Do you have gall bladder problems? Apparently for me the gall bladder seems to have been a big reason for my elevation.
