Hi Laura, i have done just that stopped the vaping and will get more tests done in a month or so see if its come down,

Good afternoon Partinavia,

Firstly, well done on addressing lifestyle changes.

However, no- one on this forum is medically qualified to interpret your blood test results.

May I suggest you arrange an appointment with your GP to disuss these results and to arrange appropriate monitoring and follow up as required.

Best wishes,

Trust9

Hi Trust9,

Just interested if anyone else has experienced raised GGT from vaping , i have appointment with GP this week, just not sure how much research has been done on vaping and the effect it can have on ones liver.

in reply toPartinavia

Hi there , Its a very interesting point and I am sure some of the current research will be published in the coming years.

From a liver health perspective, it is always recommended to look after your body as best as you possibly can - and perhaps cutting down on vape would be a good start ?

I hope all goes well at your GP.

take care,

Trust9

It has been reported that a few people have already died from vaping, however my guess is alot of the damage will have been done mainly from the cigarettes they had been smoking prior to switching to vaping....?

Making & mixing their own oil with THC is the deadly problem/cause

Yes I've checked Vaping and it's not a recommended alternative to tobacco were the Livers concerned, but those results are extremely odd 🤔
