Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

I can understand your concern for the raised GGT and ALP. GGT is a liver enzyme and in females the normal range is 0 - 45 U/L. GGT blood levels may be elevated due to liver disease, hepatitis, gallstones, diabetes, pancreatic disease, kidney failure, alcohol misuse, certain prescription drugs, certain herbs and supplements or taking very high amounts of supplements.

There is a possibility for having some sludge or stones in the common bile duct after the good health.
