High GGT levels...normal scan...

I went to the doctor regarding various issues and she conducted lots of blood tests. One of which was looking at my liver. Back in August my GGT was raised - 65 and then in September it was 100! All the other liver tests were ok. She sent me for a scan after the August result and it showed everything normal (small growth on adrenal gland but nothing else and not to worry about).

I don't drink much - I've had about 4 drinks since the summer but I am overweight.

I assumed she would have mentioned fatty liver if that had been an issue.

Does anyone know why they might be raised?

Annoyingly I am taking terbinifine (but after both of the above tests) to try and get rid of a fungal nail and it affects your liver so I'm guessing it will increase yet again when I have my next test at the beginning of December.

I'm baffled and slightly worried....as also waiting on adhd titration which I think they might be cautious with starting if there's questions over my liver.

Feeling very stressed 😪
