Is It Normal To Have Abnormal Levels Of SGOT And Bilirubin After Gallbladder Removal?

My SGOT is 59, bilirubin is 1.7. Six years ago I had my gallbladder removed because the doctor thought it was to blame for my enzyme elevation. Before the surgery I was tested for everything possible and nothing was found now with no gallbladder the same problem is back, what could be the cause?

hi,
There is slight elevation of SGOT and Bilirubin ,but i dont think its because of your gall bladder,we need to think of few other causes which will lead to such changes.
I would have helped you better with complete liver function test,with this anyway you can get an ultrasound abdomen to look for any abnormality in the liver.If you are an alcholic there will be mild elevation of enzymes,and if you are having indirect hyperbilirubinemia then need to rule out causes for the same.
Hope this information help you
Thank you.
