Elevated Gamma-GT and gallbladder stone

[kjs81]

I posted a while back about how my GGT value was increasing over time and with every repeat blood test it was elevated further. All other enzyme values in normal range, I had an ultrasound this week and it showed one gallbladder stone. I have no symptoms of gallbladder issues - no abdominal pain etc. so no surgery for now, just a re-scan in 6-12 months.

What wasn’t mentioned to me and I only thought of it after a phone call with my GP, was if it’s ok just to leave my GGT levels elevated, with high likelihood of further increase? Surely that’s putting my liver under stress? Any advice appreciated!

I’ve had high GGT (in the 2-3 100s) for about 20 years, no cause found. However I had gallbladder removed 3 years ago due to a suspicious polyp and my GGT has reduced although still over range.

thanks for your response. I’m just concerned that an elevated GGT which continues to rise could be putting my liver under considerable stress :/
