[|Human|] my ggt is 127, i consume alcohol 2/3 time a month, up 4/5 standard drinks on each sitting. even after being abstinent for 3 months the ggt level remains above 125. What is the risk of such high levels of ggt and how do i reduce it to normal levels. Thanks
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.GGT is one of the liver markers which indicate sliver damage. In most cases its elevation is caused by alcohol consumption but other causes such as fatty liver may be present as well. So the next step is to look for certain liver damage, but till that, alcohol should be reduced maximally. At this point, this is still not significantly high value, but follow up in 1 months is required, and then you should do ultrasound if such findings persist. Other causes are viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, medications, autoimmune diseases. But these are rare causes and this should not bother your. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
