Mainly For Sqad Or Anyone Who Understands

high levels of GGT in the blood.
I know the levels should be between 6-42 but last Christmas mine were 2062 and I was admitted to hospital.
Since then I've had 2 MRCP scans and they are happy there are no stones in the bile duct.
Last week I thought I was looking a bit jaundice so asked my GP if I could have a blood test which she agreed to. I had it done on Monday.
This morning I got a phone call from the surgery asking me to come for another blood test and the GP saw me also, so I was able to ask why the blood tests were being repeated, and was told my GGT was 800+ and if the results from today come back as higher, I may have to go to the hospital.
My question is, why do my GGT levels go up so high?
I don't drink alcohol ever, and there are no stones, so what can cause it?
I did ask my GP and she just said probably some kind of liver damage, but what, how, why?
Just wish someone could explain it better. TIA.

My nursing background includes a long spell in hepatology, nearly wet myself at TTTs suggestion, I worked in the liver unit ITU at the QE for about eight years and I only saw two Wilsons, both male, my first thought was Primary biliary cirrhosis, something we saw a lot of in women of late middle age and older it but still isn't that common in the general population., but without seeing all the other blood results it's not possible to give a really good guess. A referral to a medical hepatologist sounds like the sensible route.
