Can gallstones cause fatty liver and elevated ALT? ALT is 60 and I am sore and hurting on back under right rib cage. It is confirmed that i have gallstones. What should I do next. The Dr wants to do an EGD scope test. Should I request Dr. do biopsy. They only mentioned rechecking Blood in 2-3 months. I am concerned I do not just need to sit around waiting for more symptoms?
