Hi, i did a gamma gt test 2 weeks ago and it was abnormally high - had a reading of 282. I did the same test yesterday again and the reading was 200. Do my doctor tells me this is still abnormal, especially when all my other liver function test had quite normal readings. My questions are (1) What could be the cause of such reading, I dont consume alcohol in excess (2) Right now I have changed my diet and stopped alcohol intake completely, how long would you estimate my readings would normalize (3) Asides alcohol, what other factors could be responsible for such a reading.

You asked what other things can do this. Hepatitis B and C, in chronic form can do this. You always have to have tests done for this, because lot of times there may not be any symptoms. Other major cause is
