Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi, i have had two blood tests recently with ggt levels at 78 and 89. i suffered from acute liver damage a few years ago through alcohol, but my liver function tests are fine . is it normal for my ggt levels to be a little on the high side . thank you in advance, steve
Here you are having high GGT... This enzymes present in biliary canaliculi.... So when damage to biliary canaliculi then it is released in blood.... Here so fatty liver , gall stone , cholangitis has to be ruled out.... USG abdomen helpful.... If needed magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography helpful...
Avoid high fat diet... Green leafy veg more like ...spinach , arugula, dendelion, mustard green etc... Spinach and carrot juice good to take.... Avoid alcohol.... And yes smoking is strickly avoided...
