If you have any symptoms then please consult doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. The GGTP level might be considered mildly elevated. Since other liver tests and ultrasound are normal, it does not appear to be a serious concern.
2. In most serious disorders of liver the GGTP reaches 5 to 10 times the normal value.
3. If you are in the habit of taking alcohol regularly then it is advisable to reduce the amount.
4. It is important to know why you got the tests done and what problems you are having. This is because if you are having gastritis and acidity symptoms then most reports are normal and you should still consult doctor for medication and other investigations.
5. If you have no symptoms and have got the tests done as a routine then there is no need to consult the doctor urgently but you can get other tests also done like complete blood count, complete liver function tests if not done (including bilirubin) and kidney function tests.
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
