What Does This Blood Test Result Indicate Long After Removal Of The Gall Bladder?
I was sent by my doctor last monday to hospital because she thought I had appendicitis. My bloods were done at hospital, and I had a normal xray. It turns out that my gamma gt is high,,and my pain was blamed on the site of the removal of my gall bladder in 2013 being inflamed. I wonder if this is usual.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Elevated GGT indicates some kind of obstruction in the biliary system. It is quite common after an episode of fever and nothing much to worry. Get an ultrasound done to rule out liver and gall bladder related problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
