A member asked:
If your liver ggt is elevated twice in a row within 3 months apart and don't consume alcohol, should i be concerned? any follow up tests necessary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: What were your GGT levels? Did the level increase between two readings? What medications do you take? Have you been tested for Hepatitis C? What are the results of other liver function tests? It would be prudent to discuss the matter with the doctor who ordered the tests.
