A member asked:
Dear sirs, my ast, alt, bilurmin levels are normal my ggt is 102, iam taking pantoprozole for past 15 years for gerd and hiatal hernia is this a culprit.

Why GGT?: The GGT is not a standard lab test, and probably shouldn't be ordered except in the case of unexplained elevations in alkaline phosphatase. I would ignore it.
