Hi my Gamma GT is @ 64,00 U/L. Is this a serious level or not ?. I am 55 years old and average about 3 beers a day. I also take a multivitamin pill as well as some pills for joint ache. All my other vitals are fine BP = 120/80, cholestorol at 4.04. Should i be worried about the Gamma GT. I am thinking of being alcohol free for three months to see if the Gamma GT comes down. Any advice - regards Paul.
Hello,
Your GGTP levels are very very high and it is definitely a cause for concern.
Although chronic alcoholism can cause high levels of GGTP but in addition you must have elevated SGOT and SGPT levels.
If your SGOT and SGPT levels are normal then it could mean cholestasis and then you should have high bilirubin along with high GGTP.
The cholestasis could be due to the blockage of bile duct which can occur due to many reasons including cancer pancreas.
You must get a CT scan of abdomen done.
Consult a gastroenterologist as early as possible.
Thanks
