Thanks for posting your question on Chat Doctor! Liver enzymes are usually elevated in liver disease like hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver and gall bladder disease. Other causes include Hypothyroidism, heart failure, obesity and muscular dystrophies. In your case the elevated liver enzymes could be due to alcohol alone or along with hypothyroidism. In presence of hypothyroidism the metabolism of alcohol gets slower and hence its toxicity increases more than compared to patients without hypothyroidism. Kindly refrain from taking alcohol. I hope your doubts have been clarified.
