Hi XXXXXXX
I have gone through Liver and Kidney function test of your mother.
She has mildly elevated GGTP (Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase) 97 U/L and ALP (Alkaline phosphatase 130 U/L.
ALP levels and GGTP level rise in bile duct obstruction, intrahepatic bile stasis diseases of the liver.
Her bilirubin is normal, actually lower side of normal level.
The one common cause of raised GGTP is alcohol induced liver damage.
She should be subjected to abdominal Ultrasonography to see exactly if there is anything in liver and Gallbladder.
I would like to know following:
1) If she has any liver or Gall bladder issue?
2) Is she Overweight or has High Cholesterol?
3) By any chance is there alcohol use??
Please provide above details, so that I can clarify better.
Hope this helps.

With Best Regards.

Sir,

She is being diagnosed with high Cholesterol.
Currently she is taking Atrolip 20 to maintain the level.
Her weight is approximately around 65 kg.

Apart from the above she had no issue with liver till today
Though she is hyper acidic.

She is chewing tobbaco 5 to 6 times a day , but no alcohol.

Please suggest.
Is there any thing serious as far as high levels of GGTP and ALP is concerned, which need immeditae attention or diagnistic or it can be reduced with medicine.

Please suggest.

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your input,
She is having Dyslipidemia and taking Atorvastatin and she is chewing Tobacco.
There are few possibilities:
1) She may be having Fatty liver or Gall bladder issue, please go for Abdominal Ultrasonography, Which could give clue to the cause of these abnormalities.
2) Due to side effect of Atorvastatin liver damage although this causes rise in Aspartate transaminase (AST) & Alanine transaminase (ALT)
2) Tobacco chewing can cause or add to injury to liver.

She should stop using tobacco and if her cholesterol is well controlled dose of Atorvastatin can be reduced. Please repeat these enzymes after 1 month.
You can do so after consulting local Physician.
Hope I have addressed all your concerns. If you have any further query please ask me, I will be more than happy to help.
With best Regards.
