How To Reduce Elevated GGT Level?
Question: MY GGT LEVEL IS 393, I USE TO DRINK DAILY AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW CAN I REDUCE IT QUICKLY AND IS IT VERY SERIOUS ISSUE?
Brief Answer:
YES, YOU NEED TO REDUCE IT AT THE EARLEST
Detailed Answer:
Hi sir,
I have carefully read your query and understood your concern,
You seem to have a very high G.G.T value.This most likely arises in the context of frequent and excess intake of alcohol.
An elevated G.G.T signifies ongoing damage to liver most notably "ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS". This can run the risk of getting converted to alcoholic cirrhosis.
Also you run the risk of acquiring gall stones and making you get prone to jaundice and pancreatic disorders.
One most important thing which can normalize your G.G.T levels is "STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL"
IT TAKES NEARLY 3-6 MONTHS FOR THE ELEVATED G.G.T LEVELS TO NORMALIZE.
Quitting alcohol under expert guidance with the use of alcohol desensitizers like Disulphiram and Metronidazole will produce faster results.
Consume diet low in fat,have regular workouts,and maintain adequate hydration.
You are currently receiving an updated and a perfect treatment to treat your elevated G.G.T,kindly stick to it by all means.
GOLBI drug helps to prevent gall stones.
I hope and wish my feedback is useful and convincing to you ,
Kindly rate my answer as a means of providing your valuable feedback ,so as to improve my presentation.
Post your follow up queries in case of any further need,
Thank you,
Take care,
Dr.Suresh
