Hi thanks for asking question in HCM...

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...

Hope your concern solved.

Consult gastroenterologist for detail examination...

Take care.
