LIVER TEST panel results GGT ALT ALP BILIRUBIN

[Pulsar25]

Hello people , I was having strange symtoms so had a Liver Test and had a shocking GGT high result ! Anyone else ??

[Alexliver]

I’m currently in hospital trying to figure out what caused it . How high was yours? What the doctor said?

[Patdoyle]

hi yes I’m just going through the same. High GGT and low globulin. Been for ultrasound and all ok on that. I have not been a big drinker and haven’t had any alcohol since last September and feel ok. I go back to GP next week to discuss next step

[Pulsar25 in reply to Patdoyle]

Any symptoms? What kind of ggt roughly ? globulin Is that on a blood count test do you know ?

[Patdoyle in reply to Pulsar25]

No symptoms to speak of. Globulin is on panel of liver function blood test. My GGT was 126 originally but down to 66 after 3 months of good diet and exercise. Originally the gp suspected fatty liver but I am not overweight and eat well. Ultrasound ruled fatty liver out so I’m still having tests

[Patdoyle in reply to Pulsar25]

I got the results of my most recent liver function test and the GGT is back to 88. I’ve not had alcohol and don’t understand why it’s gone up. Seeing GP on Wednesday to discuss

mines fluctuated between 300 to400 for years GGT, rightly or wrongly I don’t worry about it. All the best.

[Patdoyle in reply to oap74]

Gosh my doctor went berserk when mine was 126.

[Alexliver in reply to oap74]

How was your other liver enzymes?

[oap74 in reply to Alexliver]

All normal except for serum total bilirubin just over normal. All the best

[Gaspereaux in reply to oap74]

Yes, mine was 569. I was told it is just a marker and not to be alarmed…..

[Pulsar25 in reply to Gaspereaux]

What were your other liver tests like ? And did you GGT get better ? Any symptoms?

[Gaspereaux in reply to Pulsar25]

I have blood tests again in May. I have PBC, new diagnosis in November. Terrible lower back pain (still there) and muscle pain on outer thighs.

[Alexliver]

all my liver enzymes are more than 7 times higher than target and they can’t find the reason for it?? Worst thing is that they raising daily . I’m currently in hospital so they do daily blood checks . I’m so worried.

[Pulsar25]

My Last GGT was over 1000 , my other LFT s are all in normal range , I am waiting on new results after a month off drinking . Am really worried , strange symptoms. Really tired , nauseous, joint middle aches .

[Alexliver in reply to Pulsar25]

If you were drinking before I wouldn’t worry to much if your rest tests are normal .

[Pulsar25 in reply to Alexliver]

Am worried my liver is failing And really damaged though , I started drinking most nights after losing my dad , so about nearly 7 years , beer
