[nicolette1972]

so i have had bladder pain for several weeks now and a history of utis,i saw a urologist last week and i have to have a cystoscopy under GA and a kidney scan,im not sure why the scan because my kidney function has come back normal,my liver enzyme gamma gt has come back abnormal twice so i have to have it done yet again in 4 weeks,dont know whats going on there........does anyone know anything about gamma gt??

thankyou for your reply,i just assumed that as my kidney function had come back normal then there wouldnt be anything to see,my gp did say they are irritated though,just hope i dont have to wait too long for those appointments!!X

Hi,
A renal scan is a must to find out the cause of the pain. There’s a high possibility of renal stones coming down into the bladder and causing the pain in the bladder area and the presence of stone in the urinary tract can predispose a person to recurrent UTI’s.
GGT is an enzyme which is specific for the liver disease and it can be elevated in the presence of an obstructive disease of the biliary tree and it is also raised in people who abuse alcohol.
I sincerely hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Warm regards.
