Many medications can raise the liver enzymes especially cholesterol lowering drugs. This is why many doctors do bloodwork about a month after going on some meds. Sometimes they forget to test. You are going in the right direction with the enzymes so it was probably something you were taking or a combo - where one thing by itself wouldn't do it but has a synergy with something else.
