Hi,
I've recently had my blood tests results back from my GP and I'm worried about the results fed back. My ALT and GGT were both elevated. ALT at 81 and GGT at 170. I'm a male aged 33 and generally in good health and with very little alcohol consumption (average around two pints of beer a month). This is way I'm concerned about the liver test result as I have no idea what's caused it.
I've always known for the past 8 years that my ALT were higher than normal range but only around 50 mark following a routine blood check. It's been monitored over the years but has been quite stable so no concerns until the this week.
I went to doctors recently as I have been feeling fatigued and unwell but nothing specific. My GP ordered a blood test, testing various things such as kidney function, FBC, glandular fever and a few others I've forgotten about. All come back clear except ALT and GGT (ASL is normal).
After talking to my GP, she has sent me for an ultrasound on my abdomen which has been flagged as urgent so I'm just waiting for the appointment at the hospital. Also she has requested another blood test in 2 weeks (4 weeks after my previous test) for a comparison.
I've been reading up on ALT and GGT and most if not all articles say this is a result of alcohol abuse. As for barely drink alcohol I find this confusing and I'm concerned.
Should I be concerned by these results? Has anyone else has similar results where it's just ALT and GGT high and what was your outcome/diagnosis?
High GGT and cardiovascular risk
High ALP, GGT and ALT numbers climbing
GGT over 450, high ALP, AST and ALT
GGT and ALT's have increased again 
Blood results high ggt and serum alt
I have had high liver enzymes for 6+ years, way up in the many 100's, I never drink alcohol and despite all the tests including a biopsy no cause as been found. Of course you should have the tests done but don't worry about your levels as they are only slightly elevated, do you take regular medication for anything as some can affect liver results.
Thanks for a reply
No, I don't take any medication or supplements like vitamins or protein shakes.
My diet not too bad, plenty of vegetables, salad, meat and fish. although my main drink throughout the day is coffee and I eat chocolate on a daily basis.
I'm slim build so not overweight.
Then there’s nothing wrong with you
You can't say that or know that. This poster is having further tests which will hopefully give some further answers.
My hubby is t-total, was athletically slim, worked hard, ate no rubbish, no meds and yet in April 2012 he was diagnosed with late stage cirrhosis. His principle symptoms is chronic fatigue - he had an auto-immune liver disease which attacked his liver without giving major symptoms UNTIL he was throwing up blood which brought about his cirrhosis diagnosis.

LFTs are only a measure of how your liver is functioning in that moment. Has nothing to do with quantifying underlying damage. Many people on here with cirrhosis have lower ALT and GGT than this poster. So to make a statement like "so there's nothing wrong with you" is pretty ignorant.
