What causes increased liver enzymes?

Tried to get life insurance. They came back with the rate almost tripled because I had "increased liver enzymes." The increased rate is bad enough but is this something that should concern me in terms of my health? I am 22, male, 175 lbs, 5'8". I don't drink or smoke at all. I am a vegan, so I don't eat meat, regular milk, or regular cheese. I am not in tip-top shape but I am not grossly overweight. I take Cephalexin and Retin-A for acne and DrySol (perscription anti-perspirant). Because I am young, always feel OK, and really hate doctors I haven't been to see one in years. Any ideas what could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

1. It may be a side effect to some of your medication
2. Yes. Talk to the doctor about what could be causing this. Some medications do. Try nih.gov for info. that is where I'm going now, I'll be back if I find anything of interest. I typed in liver enzumes when I got to the site. Depending on which liver enzyme being tested, the long list of possible diagnosis includes cirrhosis, tumors, liver necrosis[death of liver cells], hepatitis, hepatitis c. Go to the doctor and find out why they are elevated in a 22 year old. This is not normal.
