    Have you also been running a temperature, something viral, husband recently had low platelets, high liver, shivers and shakes, urine that looked like melted chocolate it was so dark, (blood) admitted to hospital as he is already a heart failure patient and they wanted to watch him, as well as let loose with dozens of blood tests.

    Nothing came back positive, even the viral tests, and they said they ran about a 100 or so, apparently about 20,000 known viruses, but public hospital is not going to pay for that many tests.

    End result when his temps settled they sent him home, still took about 3 weeks for his liver function tests to come back to normal, but they did eventually, left rather weak and no strength, but even that has improved slowly.

    Gallbladder sludge, nothing to suggest it could be related, keep the fat levels low as I assure you you do not want to be passing a gall stone, even a tiny one, ouchhhh!!!!, been there and done that myself.
