Brief Answer:

Kindly upload reports

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Can you upload the reports for me to view? I need to check the parameters and their values.

Does AGAP mean anion gap?

GGT reflects liver or gall bladder problems. Do you have any symptoms like pain abdomen, stones in the gall bladder, etc? Do you drink alcohol or take any medicines?

My suggestion, for now, is to drink cleaner water and avoid any medicines including pain killers.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Vaishalee Punj, General & Family Physician
