What Does A High GGT Mean?
i have been having diarrhea, vomiting, and severe stomach pain. my gall bladder was removed in july 2011 so my doctor was checking my amalyse and lipase to see if i had pancreatitis but they both came back within normal levels. he then checked my GGT which is 161 which i know is high but what does that mean? i am not a drinker at all and everything on the internet leads in that direction. so what else could this be?
