I have just got a gamma gt aresult of 78. I have drastically cut down my drinking to 2 125ml glasses per week of wine. I am obese ( 262 lbs) and my cholesterol is raised. I also take BP lowering drug - irbesartan. What could be causing the raised gamma? I am on a diet now for the weight.
Hi thanks for asking question. Noted you have high GGT . You have high cholesterol with obese. So here two cause has to be ruled out for elevated GGT ...1. Gall stone2. Fatty liver.USG abdomen useful for it.GGT enzyme present in bile calculi. If above two cause not present it can be from cholangitis....Lose weight by low fatty diet. Regular exercise done. Avoid junk foods.... Use less oil in diet.... I hope your concern solved. Take care. Chat Doctor.
