That's right.  Any kind of meds...over the counter or prescribed can cause elevated liver enzymes.  Mine were never elevated at all during my 25 years with hep c.  Have another test done in three months.....should be back to normal provided no meds of any kind are taken.

There are many reas0pns for lab results like yours. If you took tylenol or one of many other drugs in the hours before the test, you could expect results like this. There are also many liver diseases that can do it such as PBC or autoimmune hepatitis, to name a couple. Get checked by a gastroenterologist.
