Question: I'm 61 years old.I got some test results back and my Total Bilirubin was 1.31, AST was 46 , GAMMA GLUTAMYLTRANSFERASE was 70 and Lactate DEHYDROGEN( LDH ) was 246. All other tests were in the range. ALT was 26 Should I be concerned and what should I do to lower my levels?
Brief Answer:
I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Your findings suggests raised GGT and mildly raised bilirubin & LDH level.
Increased GGT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake etc.
AST is non specific.
ALT level is within normal limit.
It is important to know alcohol history as GGT is specific for it.
I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
Avoid alcohol if you take it.You may also need ultrasound of abdomen.
Get well soon.
