Possible, Unlikely: Some patient develop stones in the bile duct without a gallbladder. This is a pretty rare thing to happen, but it is possible. If all other liver enzymes are normal it's pretty unlikely this is what is going on. The bilirubin should be elevated.

Observation: This is a mild elevation. If you are feeling well, okay to get another GGT blood test in 3 to 6 months. Be well.
