Hello. I went to the hospital last night with chest pain only to discover I had gallstones and had a gallbladder attack. i was also informed my liver enzymes were high. ALT 176 and AST 249 and that my liver was enlarged. I dont drink,smoke or take any medication. I did have a baby this January and had mild preclampsia which resolved after the baby was born. My question is, could my liver enzymes shoot that high due to a acute gallbladder attack? i am very concerned and cannot get in with a physician till next week. Im 38. Please advise..Thank you
Hi.thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Yes, gallstones or liver inflammation may result in pain below the rib cage on the right side. Cause of high liver enzymes should be properly investigated. Viral causes should be ruled out. Fatty liver disease should be ruled out. Advise
