hi i was taken in to hospital because i was in a lot of pain after having my gallbladder removed, had a blood test and my LFTs came back very high.My ALP was 444 and my alt 583, they are coming down now but still high, i had a blood test last week and now my Gamma GT is 148. I've just had a blood test to day and am now waiting to have a ultrasound. just want some one to say what this might mean as i'm worred

Without all the rest of your blood test results, (ie albumin, bilirubin, full blood count, any other inflammatory marker tests that were done) the only thing these 3 results in isolation say is that your liver is inflamed. They dont diagnose what is causing the inflammation and an ultrasound should help with a diagnosis.

Hello

If it helps Tracy my GammaGT has been over 1000 (Every Doc I see is amazed I can stand up) for approx. 1 yr.

Been in & around 6-700 for about 3yrs when a not so bright Consultant Gastroentro & my GP at the time gave me a Form DS1500 which states that in their opinions I have less than 6 mnths to live.

Was mopey(is that how u spell mopy) for a while then noticed that I was still alive & had been getting Lots & Lots of ££££££££££s.

Until 2 or 3 LFT give the same figures then I wouldn't worry myself as many Tablets can affect readings.

Good Luck
