Any Advise For GGTP Reading Of 138?
Hi, I got an LFT done and all the items are in range, except GGTP. My reading for that is 138.. I got the test done on Jan 1, after a night in which I had a few glasses of wine. Prior to that, I was taking paracetmol for 2 weeks as I had fight fever, headaches, etc. I got an ultrasound done, in which they said there is no liver damage.
The doctors have asked me not to drink for several months and take Heptral 400mg. Please advise.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar and I am pleased to assist you.
Your doctor has told you the right thing.
The one single step to get your GGTP to baseline level is to quit drinking alcohol.
Good thing is that the rest of the values are within normal limits which indicate that your liver has not suffered serious damage due to alcohol intake.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar
