Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your cholesterol level is normal. Your AST and bilirubin is also normal. Your GGT level is very high. You may have some disease of biliary tract. You may have cholestasis. You should go for ultrasound abdomen to search the cause. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
