When my primary care doctor (PCP) observed that my liver enzymes were elevated during an annual routine labs, he called me to inquire about any over-the-counter medications/vitamins/supplements or increased alcohol consumption that might be a contributing factor. Since my answer was "No", he told me to stop taking my cholesterol prescription medication and to have my labs repeated. Unfortunately, the enzymes remained elevated. He then referred me to a gastroenterologist (GI) who began a series of labs and tests to arrive at a cause/reason for the elevated labs. It seemed to take forever! By eliminating potential liver diseses, and with the coordination of a liver specialist, I was eventually diagnosed with PSC as @suerte has mention having. I felt relieved when we had a name for my condition, and for the following 6-7 years, I had labs drawn every 3 months along with a doctor visit to keep tabs on my liver. I eventually progressed to a liver transplant in 2009.
Elevated liver enzymes are common to all liver diseases/conditions from something simple as over-the-counter meds, or alcohol consumption, or an inflamation or infection in the liver. Here is information from Mayo Clinic about elevated liver enzymes:

@reppil63 - Good luck next week❤️
@suerte, How are you getting along with your PSC?
@joewu, Are you seeing a specialist like a GI or liver specialist?
