Suggest Remedies And Precautions For High Gamma Gt In My Lever

Hi Dr,

I recently had several blood tests and was informed today of the results which i am a bit worried about. The doctor said i have a high Gamma GT presence in my liver and that i must return in 3 months for further blood tests. When researching online about Gamma GT i found that it is highly related to alcohol but i am a 47 year old female who has never drunk alcohol before.

I would very much appreciate if you could shed some light on what this actually is, why i may have it and what course of action i should take or that is recommended for me to take.

Thank you very much for your time,

I look forward to your response,

Kind Regards

Nadia.
