Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Your Alkaline phosphatase and GGT levels are increased. That is commonly seen in hepatobiliary disease like gall stone or stricture or obstruction.
Ferritin is a marker of inflammation. High ferritin level suggest some inflammation.
It can be in gall bladder or bile duct or some other place.

In my opinion you should go for ultrasound abdomen. It will give you exact idea. Then take treatment accordingly.
