These stones also vary in size as in some cases, they are as small as grains or sometimes they are large as the size of a plum. In 80 percent…

Nwokocha et al and Savithri, et al).

The other enzymes like ALP, GGT and bilirubin levels were used as an indicative of liver injury with prevalent cholestatic pattern(Giannini et al,2005). There is an elevation in ALP when there is liver and bone disease.ALP may be present in…
