Elavated Enzymes

[TammyP]

A few months ago I started experiencing severe upper right abdominal pain. I went to see my family doctor and was checked for gallstones.  No gallstones but he ran some blood tests and found that my liver enzymes was elevated.  My GGT was 176. Two weeks later it was 207 and then rechecked a week later and it was 172.  My specialist that I have been seeing has checked me for Hepatitis and that was neg. Then I had a hida scan and that was also normal.  Then they done an ERCP and that was normal. I have still been having the pain along with nausea and vomiting.  On April 16th they repeated blood work and my GGT was down to 95 and the ALKP was 157.  I am relieved that they have dropped but I am still worried. I am only 30 years old and I am not a heavy drinker.  After everything I have told you, could there be anything else that could cause these elevations and even with them being lower now should I still be concerned?  I am to have more blood work rechecked in two months and I am hoping that it is even better.

Thank You

There is no specific name that I am aware of. They just took two tubes of blood and tested in there own lab. I got the results the next day.
