Hi as Iv been ggt can rise and fall for many reasons how are your other lfts coming out, how's your cholesterol and weight, also one small glass of alcohol within48 hours can raise it.

GGT is in other organs, not just the Liver. But lets assume its the liver, the enzymes leaks into the blood when there is damage to your biliary cells, ALP is usually measured too, again these are in the biliary system.

It could be tiny stones that are stuck in your ducts. PBC is also a thought, which is not a disease i would wish on anyone. You need to be checked for auto immune conditions , which the doctor may be doing in the next round of bloods.

Try not to get too alarmed just yet, hopefully you will have some answers soon.
