I would check GGT as well to see if it is elevated along with the Alk Phos. That would usually indicate a liver origin. I would check for PrimaryPrimary amyloidosis Primary biliary cirrhosis Primary hyperparathyroidism Primary insomnia Primary lymphoma of the brain Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC). PBC is an autoimmune type of Hepatitis which attacks the bile ducts. It can't really diagnosed without a liver biopsy. There are a couple of antibody tests which suggest PBC (I think one of them is Anti Nuclear Antibody), but you would have to ask a Hepatologist about that.
I just got over the same thing...it lasted over 4 weeks and they determined that my gallbladder needs to come out. Doctor feels that I must have had a gallstone blocking a bile duct, and I may have passed it. I had no abdominal pain which is unusual, but not impossible. I lost 12 lbs and felt awful! My billliruben got up to 15.Try a diet for gallbladder...it helped me.
