How To Stabilize The GGT Level Which Is 74?

I had a liver transpalnt in 2010 in New Zealand and it was a perfect one. The grating of the new liver produced excellent results for me. I am on TACROLIMUS of 2 mg per day. All post transplant liver functions were normal. In Mrch 2014 I contracted dengue fever in Fiji Islands. It distorted my liver fiunctions particularly ASt and some elevated GGT. All liver functions have come back to normal but I seem to have an isolated GGT still. It has dropped but is still high. My current GGT is 74 when the maximium should be 60 or less. This tests are from the Liver Transpalnt Unit in Auckland Hospital in New Zealand. Why is it still high and what can I do to bring it within my range as I had until I contracted dengue. Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

Like a solitary high enzyme "just a bit higher then normal", I really don't see a great problem to be concerned about. The best cure or medicine to me is just the time. Just wait and see.
