What Causes Increased GGT Levels In Blood Of An Alcoholic?
Question: MY GGT is 113 andI do drink alcohal. What i should do?
Brief Answer:
Quit alcohol
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for putting your query in HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
I have undergone through the reports you have uploaded.
Apart from GGT your SGOT and SGPT are laso elevated.
GGT is simply an indicator of alcohol intake and it will be normalsied once you stop taking alcohol.
However elevation of SGOT and SGPT indicates liver cell injury which is a matter of concern
For normalisation again you will have to stop taking alcohol.
If you are overweight or obese then do weight reduction by diet and exercise
Take tablet Udiliv (ursodeoxycholic acid) 300mg tds and Cap evion (Vitamin E)400mg od at least for 3 months and monitor your SGOT and SGPT levels may be after one month of quiting alcohol and taking these medcines
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
