Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You are asymptomatic and undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy 6 months back.
These liver function test show high level of alkaline phosphatase 435 and GGTP 528 and other enzymes are borderline raised.
Indicative of cholestasis you should get a fresh ultrasonography of abdomen and visit the surgeon and Physician for proper treatment which depends on cause.
GGTP ( gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase ) could also indicate alcoholic injury to liver so by chance if alcohol use is there please stop.
Many cases of minor injury to the common bile duct can be managed non-surgically.
Please take care.
Good Luck.
