Suggest Ways To Lower ALT And GGT Levels
I have elevated liver blood test result. ALT of 41 U/L and GGT of 75 U/L. Is this something to be worried? I am a non-drinker female. I must admit I do very little exercise. I noticed the results were higher when I was sick with a severe flu. Is there anything I can do lower the ALT and GGT? I have now recovered from the flu after 3 months and will start doing daily walks as a means of introducing a daily exercise routine.

Hello
Increased GGT and ALT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,viral markers,urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen.
I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
It is good that you don't take alcohol.
Get well soon.
Take Care
