Hello!
Thank you for the query.
You have GGT and AP significantly elevated. This two are enzymes which are elevated when there is some bile ducts blockage. As your bilirubin is also elevated it is advisable for you to visit your doctor as soon as possible. Such condition in most cases is caused by gall stones which has stuck in bile duct. This should be treated as soon as possible as it can result with acute pacreatitis.
To treat it ERCP should be performed. Before this, you should have abdominal ultrasound and amylase level in blood and urine.
Hope this will help
Regards

Hi, your alkaline phosphatase is slightly elevated and the SGOT / SGPT as well. There are multiple reasons for this sort of enzymes elevation, however this is not normal and you should get further testing. Whenever I see a pattern of enzyme elevation like yours I think of medication induced toxicity, or autoimmune liver diseases such as Primary biliary cirrhosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Please follow up with your liver doctor for further recommendations. You also need a liver ultrasound or CT scan to make sure you don't have any lesions in your liver.
Hope that helps.
