Hi, Thanks for your question. As you have mentioned you are on atorvastatin for high cholesterol, There are following possibilities for marginal increase in liver enzymes-1) Long term use of Atorvastatin can cause raised liver enzymes. But your levels of liver enzymes are not significantly raised to stop atorvastatin. 2) NASH (Non-alcoholic SteatoHepatitis) if you are obese it may be possibility. It is associated with insulin resistance. I would like to advise you to repeat your liver function test after 2 to 3 weeks, if liver enzymes rises further consult your doctor for detailed clinical examination and if required further evaluation. Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.
