03.01 GI/GS [PDF link]: Gallbladder disorders: Acute cholecystitis, Ascending cholangitis, Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), Biliary colic, Acalculous cholecystitis, Liver cancers: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), Cholangiocarcinoma, Primary liver tumours

Other notes

  • Gallbladder disorders most associated with raised ALP with high GGT due to cholestasis

  • Would not cause jaundice unless there is obstruction (which then causes post-hepatic jaundice), as in cholangitis (where the biliary tree is infected causing obstruction),
