What Does A GGT Level Of 46 Indicate?

I have normal liver alt,sat,bilirubin and albumin but a ggt of 46 which I believe is raised. I am a very active female and eat healthy, weight 61kg and 5ft 6in. I do smoke and drink moderately. I am currently taking mini pill, fleconide, bisoprolol and ibuprofen. I have abstained from alcohol for 2wks to lower my ggt will this help?

Hello! Welcome!
GGT is a liver enzyme involved in the moving amino acids and peptides into cells (there is a lot more to it than that, but I like to keep it simple and easy to read for people seeking answers)

You are a FEMALE so this is a PERFECT LEVEL!

Normal Adult Female Range: 0 - 45
Normal Adult Male Range: 0 - 65

So 46 is perfectly fine. You are active as you say, smoking and drinking, okay, bu t you say you stay active. You SHOULD NOT LOWER your GGT...

Did someone tell you it should be lower??

NORMAL range is 45...So you want to lower it 1 point? That is like taking a handful of sand from the desert....It does nothing.

=)

Stay at ease and relax. NO NEED TO WORRY.

But of course, always rely on YOUR doctor for full answers!!

Thanks!
