you should definitely have a more comprehensive work-up if the liver tests have been abnormal for this long a period of time.  If you have glucose intolerance or are overweight it could cause both the liver abnormalities and the retained fluid

you may need a liver biopsy to figure out the cause of the abnormal liver tests
