What Causes Elevated GGT Level In Blood?

Hi

Does protein powder increases GGT level? I scored a GGT level score of 113 after getting diagnosed with a viral infection.



When i took the blood test I was on Augmentin antibiotic (twice per day). I had taken 4 pills by the time of the test. What usually increases GGT level?



Please advise



Thanks

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
GGT level increased in cholestasis or hepatic disease.
Your GGT level is increased. You may have viral hepatitis or cholestasis. You should go for complete liver function test including hepatitis panel, bilirubin, AST, ALT and alkaline phosphatase. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
