Is GGT Level Of 54 Critical?
Question: Hi , is GGT level of 54 critical? What medicines or food can I to to reduce?
Brief Answer:
There is no need to worry if GGT is 54 U/l and it is not critical
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is an enzyme that might be raised in lever and biliary disorders.
2. Normal levels of GGT varies with the laboratory and usually levels of up to 55 U/l can be taken as upper limit of normal by most laboratories in XXXXXXX
3. Elevation is highest in cases of intra- or post-hepatic biliary obstruction, reaching levels some 5 to 30 times normal. When it becomes 5 to 30 times normal then there is a possible critical condition.
4. Since your GGT level is 54 U/l therefore there is no need to worry
5. The ideal level of GGT in males is below 35 U/l at age 40 years to below 55 at age above 65 years.
6. Having GGT of 54 U/l means you do not have any critical disease and there is no need to take any particular food or medicine. However if you take alcohol regularly then please reduce it.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
