GGT level

I have recently abstained from drinking alcohol and find that I do not miss it. I have had a blood test to see if I have any problems.

They came back clear, but I would like advise on my GGT level.

My GGT result came back as, 35iu/L [<73.0]

Please can anyone advise as whether this is good or bad?

That's perfectly within range, normal range is up to 75 as indicated next to your score.

Good, you stop drinking, I am going thru the same thing with a family member, He just had a GGT today, however, please the post that I wrote earlier today. How long has it been that you stop drinking? also, look at your ALT and other blood work.

It seems to be in normal range but ask your doctor always

my ggt levels are a bit higher than you. I have never drank alcohol but yet my ggt number is that of a severe alcoholic so figure that one.all my other liver numbers are normal. I have a smooth muscle antibody test come back positive. ive been severally ill and in pain throughout my entire body for 2 years while drs are trying to figure out why my liver and pancreas aren't working right. not much as in acities yet but I do get he and get dizzy and fall. I was told cause my liver isn't filtering anything right right now from fats to proteins and toxifying the blood which affects the muscles and brain. anyway a high ggt obviously is something wrong and should be checked and watched.
