Without knowing the exact values, it is difficult to say for sure.
Any type of liver disease can raise the liver enzymes. Alcohol use is also a common possibility. At minimum, a workup should consist of an abdominal ultrasound and blood tests looking for hepatitis.
Monitoring the liver enzymes periodically should be done to ensure the liver enzymes aren't rising.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
