I've raised ggt, i've good diet don't drink not on meds and have no infection, have scarring on liver had biopsy done, docs ar baffled can anyone help?

Results?: Did the biopsy show NASH (non alcoholic steatohepatorrhea)? It is a common cause of scarring. I assume you were tested for all the hepatitis a, b, c, d, g? Ggt is the most sensitive of all the liver tests so if the others are normal it is more reassuring.
