Your report shows GGT 97.3 U/L, which is elevated, but the available report does not show evidence of low protein or low albumin: albumin is 4.88 g/dL and total protein is 8.62 g/dL. GGT by itself is nonspecific and does not establish liver disease or bile-duct obstruction. The ACG recommends confirming and interpreting abnormal liver tests in the context of AST, ALT, ALP and bilirubin, rather than using GGT alone.
A 6-mm gallstone may be incidental if you have no typical biliary symptoms. Gallstones become clinically important particularly when they cause typical right-upper-quadrant/epigastric pain, cholecystitis, common-bile-duct obstruction or pancreatitis.
Next Steps
repeat AST, ALT, ALP, total/direct bilirubin and GGT.
Review the complete ultrasound: CBD diameter, gallbladder wall, stone mobility, sludge and signs of cholecystitis.
If the rest of the liver tests are normal and this is an isolated mild GGT elevation, assess alcohol intake, medications/supplements, metabolic risk factors and fatty liver rather than assuming the gallstone is responsible.
