Blood test results.

[Soriox]

Hello folks.

UK poster here. In 37, 6'1 and 15.5 stones.

My ALT is 66, my GGT is 100.

I have no idea what this means, how severe the problem might be or where I stand. To give further bloods in three months, and go for an ultrasound in the meantime.

Could anyone cast a shadow on how bad my results are! I googled this but the answers are very vague.

Appreciated folks.

Don’t panic, mine were similar and have been massively higher and it’s gallstones and gallbladder disease. Ask for an ultrasound or CT....just to have peace of mind.

There are many things that can cause abnormal liver tests and most are easily resolved. You got a retest booked which is standard and an ultrasound so that should help identify if its just a blip or something that needs a bit of treatment. The tests are raised but not by much as far as my experience goes. Hopefully it'll be something simple and easily treatable.

The forum is a very good place where you can get support and advice from our many members. However, nobody here is qualified to comment or specifically answer your question. The forum / British Liver Trust (BLT) guidelines ask members to not post test results and invite interpretation. The forum cannot take the place of your own medical team who can interpret your results with a full picture of you, your health and circumstances. Test results can also vary according to individual laboratories.

We suggest that you contact your GP / medical team and discuss your results and any concerns you may have.
