Hello friends I am wondering if anybody has or had similar. Ever since I left hospital last year April 1st 2022 my GGT continues to rise, was 95 last June recent test 215. I have not had a single alcoholic drink in nearly 13 months. I notice my ALP is similar , that has a continues rise now 132. All the other stuff appears ok Bil -17 , Alt 32, Albu - 42 . It just miffs me off that GGT keeps rising. ( If it helps 35.7kpa ) thanks a lot for reading and hopefully having some in site on this subject. Paul .

hi Taffypaul, I have a similar issue. Mine was 450-ish, I stopped alcohol, went down to 200-ish, now over 500. I hope your GGT has levelled out or gone down now.
