In the past week I have had two screens down on my liver...first screen showed ALT of 75...increased to 114 ASTwas 63 and then went to 62... Doctor office called tonight just to say I was going to be referred to GI. I have had gallbladder problems in the past... Went through a weeks of abdominal pain which was why I went to the doctor. I drink a glass of wine nightly...drinking maybe 1 and a half bottles a week. I am going into the weekend and worried.

Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic....

You are mentioning some gall bladder problems...
So yes gall bladder problem like gall stone or cholangitis like condition can increase your liver enzymes level....
You should consult gastroenterologist and gall bladder problem should be treated accordingly....

If stone symptomatic and multiple stone with frequent attack of cholangitis then gall bladder needs removal...
If single stone present or small sized stone then ursodeoxycholic acid tablet can be used for gall stone...

Whenever gall bladder wall infection like cholangitis occurs antibiotic can be given...
Rest done...If needed antiinflammatory drug like brufen given..
As having gall bladder problem take low fat diet with more fruits like avocados, indian gooseberry, apple,papaiaya etc.

Consult gastroenterologist for detail examination and investigation accordingly...

Take care.
