A member asked:
So if a person did have ongoing cirrhosis of the liver and was still drinking alcohol every day the ggt on bloodwork would be elevated right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The GGt would be elevated even without drinking and GGt could not be used to ascertain alcohol intake status in a cirrhotic.

Just say someone did have active cirrhosis going on and was drinking alcohol every other day would GGt be normal on bloodwork ?
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?
