It's understandable to be worried about gallstones. While a regular doctor can diagnose and manage gallstones, a gastroenterologist or surgeon specializing in gallbladder issues can offer specialized treatment options. Surgery (cholecystectomy) is often recommended for symptomatic gallstones, but medication and other procedures may be considered.

I'm a bit worried about my recent sgpt level coming out to be 74, even though my liver ultrasound is normal. In the past, I was told that my sgpt and sgpt levels were really high due to antituberculosis medicine causing liver issues. My Att was stopped on March 1st, and back then my sgpt level was 215. Can you help me understand why my sgpt level is still climbing? I'm not a drinker, and my weight is 80 kg, height is 6 feet, and my blood pressure is 116 over 82.
