help with high gamma gt results please

[Suin]

I’ve had high gamma results on and off

Had a really poor fybroscan from a student

Then was discharged from liver consultations

As they happy to ignore blood results

currently on 125mg thyroxine

And 30mg liothyroinne daily

Serum free T4 - 12. Range 12-22

Serum TSH- 0.02mU/L range 0.27-4.2

Serum free T3- 4.8 Range 3.1-6.8

Serum gamma GT level 60U/L range 6-42

My GGT is 579 at the minute. I would not be concerned at all with a level of 60 but if you are worrying I would repeat bloods again in 3 months & seek advise if it's still rising.

It’s common for people on thyroid replacement to have slightly raised liver enzymes.

My GGT has been consistently up in the many hundreds for over 15 years and no other reason found.

Just repeat the tests and monitor but with a level of 60 I wouldn’t worry, as I said it’s very common with thyroid patients.

thank you I’d no idea there was a connection with thyroid replacement and raised liver enzymes. I’ve been on meds 30 yrs

Only in recent yrs have my liver enzymes risen.

Hi,

Doctors normally work on the basis of as long as enzyme levels are not more than 3 times the upper level then it’s not a concern, this was repeated to me by a cardiologist recently when my GGT level was 142 and the upper range was 50.

So 3 times the upper level for you would be 126, therefore try and not to be too concerned over such a small increase to 60 and get tested again in 3 months.

I've had some luck eating vegetables and fruits (and limiting meat) to bring the liver inflammation numbers down. You should check with your doctor though before changing your diet because you may need some meat if you're unable to gain weight. It all depends on your particular condition, that is, what stage of fibrosis you have. Best of luck to you👍
