A member asked:
What causes elevated ggt when all other liver tests are normal and the person rarely drinks alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other Chemicals: Rarely needs to be quantified because if it is not alcohol, i suspect it is due to some other chemical or drugs that you are exposed to like Phenytoin and carbamazepine.
