Lightheadedness, High Liver Enzymes. Done CT Scan And Ultrasound. Had Gallbladder Surgery. Given Morphine. Explain Reason

I had gallbladder surgery 11 days ago, was feeling fine until last Friday. I felt light headed. Went to quick care and they sent me to the hospital because my liver enzymes were 600, at the hospital they did a ct scan and ultra sound, all came out normal. Got sent home. Next day I got lower back pain I couldn't take, went to er, they gave me morphine and said I need to see a GI Dr? Why is my liver enzymes so high?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

With a gall bladder surgery done 11 days back, I suppose you must allow yourself some more time for the surgical wound to heal. I sympathize with your severe pain and your visit to the ER is justified.

After gall bladder surgery, there might be some small stones in the small tube through which bile passes into the duodenum (common bile duct). This may be causing the pains. Pain can also result form any block to the flow of bile, this happens in some patients and needs to be checked by your GI doctor.

Hope this helps.
