What Causes Itching All Over The Body Post Removal Of Gall Bladder?
I am 69 years old and had my gall bladder removed last October. All of my enzymes are now in a normal range except my GAMMA GT which was 831 last week and I have constant itching all over my body. I had an endoscopic exam of the duct to make sure that there were no residual stones which was negative. I do not drink or smoke. Please tell me why my GAMMA is soooo high?

Possible injury to liver parenchyma or hepatic artery,but it should be established by doing MRCP for ietifyng possible lesions. ALso, high GGT may be caused by alcohol intake or certain medications so these should be considered as well.
