I've had raised enzymes for over 15 years, no cause ever found so my Consultants have decided it's just normal for me and apart from yearly bloods that's it.

Interesting! I am a social drinker but I’ve quit pretty much other than holidays. They stay a little raised it’s been since 2015

Your numbers look normal, except for slightly raised cholesterol. I wouldn’t call 36 and 42 “raised” for women, and I’d call that totally normal for men. Of course I’m not a medical person so that’s just based off my knowledge.
