Dd has elevated liver enzymes

Dd has elevated liver enzymes

Posted in liver disorders also but dont know how much traffic goes through there... Hoping someone here may know something!
Dd had blood drawn b/c she's underweight (5 yrs old)...results showed elevated liver enzymes double what they should be. Ped felt her stomach & said her liver feels slightly enlarged. Had more blood drawn to check for diff viruses & the only 1 to come back so far is the hepatitus (hepatitis) panel & that was clear now waiting on the others. She has an u/s of her liver scheduled & a GI appt scheduled this wk.
Does anyone know of reasons for elevated liver enzymes? Her AST was 92 (norm is 20-39) & ALT was 82 (norm is 8-24).

Her blood tests came back clear except for signs of the epstein bar virus that she must of previously had & is now gone. U/s shows licer slightly larger than normal for her age & also shows diffise hepatic fatty infiltration... But she is 'underweight'!!! I don't understand! Also the GI doc said they wont go over the u/s findings w/ me b/c that was ordered by the ped & was not part of his own workup or diagnosis!

No results from her GI workup yet. :( we know they should have all the results except for the stool samples results...but they won't give us any results over the phone & our next isnt till next wk!. We tried moving her appt up just to get our results sooner but no dice!
