[|AI|]  Hi Stephen, Welcome to Chat Doctor Forum. The normal range of GGT is 0 to 51 international units per liter (IU/L). It could be raised in condition like liver and bile duct diseases. Since your GGT was 900 earlier, what is the recent blood Report of GGT? If you say it has come down to normal, it could have been elevated due to congestion of the bile ducts, which is called homeostasis.
