This is a hep c list and I automatically figured those thoughts were running through your mind.  

Hopefully someone else will chime in about liver enzymes that is more articulate than me.

not that i think but my blood test showed my AST and ALT which are what the livers show on a blood test normal. not below nor above it was normal doctor said if it was my liver my enzymes would be elevated.

Did they test you for hep-c?  Your enzymes can be just a little high or high normal, mine were for years.  Good Luck
