elevated for many reasons: as a side
effect of medications
(antibiotics,non-steroid antinflammatory
drugs,anti-seizure drugs etc.), drinking
alcohol, diabetes, infection-hepatitis,
infective mononucleosis, elevated
triglycerides, gallstones, tumors of the
pancreas / liver / or bile ducts.You can
consult an internal medicine specialist
