[|Human|] Two weeks ago I had a blood test before a hernia operation. All readings were normal except the GGT liver test which showed 86 against  an IU/L normal range of 10-71. Doctor suggested I reduce alcohol from around one half bottle per day of wine to one quarter and retry the test in 2 weeks. This I did and the GGT level is now 106! I am 64 in very good health, take loads of exercise and feel fine. Any suggestions? I am fond of chocolate and may have eaten more when drinking less.
[|AI|]  Hello Thanks for writing to ChatDoctorIncreased GGT indicates liver injury. It is specific for alcoholic liver injury. You need few more investigations like random blood sugar(RBS), renal function test(RFT), lipid profile, viral markers, urine RE/ME. In my practice, for patients like you, I suggest tablet Ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months more. It will help in regeneration of liver cells. You may need more Chat Doctor. You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products. You should avoid fried and junk food and avoid alcohol completely. Get well soon. Hope I have answered your question. Take Care
