A member asked:
My liver count "gamma" is in the 500's i have really bad pain in the liver area but doctors arent worried about it, should i be?

Yes if not evaluated: Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (ggt) is elevated in liver and biliary tract (gall bladder and its ducts) disease. Depending on the lab, normal values extend up to about 50. Yours is 10x higher than normal. Hepatits from any cause (alcohol, medicines, viral infection, others), gall stones, and rarer things can cause it. You should be concerned. See a gastroenterologist if you haven't already.
