Difficult to know: I doubt it is from your appendix surgery. Antibiotics i doubt but depends upon which and what dosis you receive. Most ikely could be just congestion in the liver or fatty liver or effect from other medicine. Ggtp is more sensitive for the liver but not specific. Let your dr. Look for a reason. Rule out hepatitis a, b or c or cirrhosis.

Maybe: Some antibiotics can cause increases in liver enzymes, but most drugs given for appendicitis for a short time will not cause that. Ask your doctor - there may be other drugs that you have taken. Many pain medicines have a lot of acetominophen added to the narcotic. Large doses of acetominophen can cause liver damage.

I am on accutane, 20mg daily. However my liver values especially GGT has risen tremendously (155). What are the causes? I dont drink and my diet isnt the worst. I exercise and use creatine? my GGT was 52 2 months ago on my first blood test?
So just say for instance if a person was to have cirrhosis of the liver and was drinking beer every day 6-8 beers. the GGT on bloodwork would not be normal right? Because that would be considered on going damage right?
Are elevated liver enzymes across 8 months considered normal or a concern? ALT is 46 and GGT is 156. They have been higher. I dont drink.
Have mild NAFLD, where only GGT is elevated (didn't drink, but it was still around 120). Will liver affect drug efficacy--how well i respond to drugs?
