Elevated GGT Levels. What Does This Indicate? Have Fatigue. Taking Cilazapril For Hypertension
I have had a call from my doctor s nurse saying the doctor needs to see me. GGT is 220 and other tests (not specified at this stage) are elevated, though she did say they are a little higher than normal. I have urine stronger than usual. I seem have become more tired recently to be, mainly in the afternoons. GGT was 138 about 3 months ago. I am taking 1.25MG of Cilazapril for elevated blood pressure , and this is under complete control. Should I be concerned?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It reflects impaired liver function.
There could be several causes – alcohol, paracetamol and so on.
The role of cilazapril can not be excluded. Even otherwise, give the benefit of doubt and go for a change.
You should see your doctor – you may need more tests /you may have to change to a different medication.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
