Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Test recommended:1. H.pylori urea breath test2. Liver enzymes3. Lipid profile4. ESR5. Endoscopy if age greater than 50 and/or if anemically ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Viral hepatitis (HAD, HBV, HCV) are common cause of elevated liver enzymes. Typhoid fever may also affect liver and cause high liver enzymes. Further course of action maybe advised after test results. Any further questions are welcomed. Hope to answer your concern. Wish you good health. Regards, Chat Doctor.
