It depends in part on how you feel and how elevated your numbers are. Your history might also be important - for instance whether you drink a lot of alcohol. Viral hepatitis has apparently been ruled out and that is usually the place to start with elevated liver enzymes.Perhaps the doctor thinks he/she knows the underlying cause. Maybe you are overweight and he is considering a fatty liver. There are many possibilities to consider. You really haven't given enough information.

By the way, I am not in the medical profession. I am merely a patient who has had liver disease and learned a little here and there.

When I have been worried I have always seen a specialist as soon as possible. I do not like to wait for a diagnosis.

Good luck,
Mike
