High GGT and other test levels.

[tallinn123]

Hi

I'm 46, a social drinker, probably a little bit too much on the weekends.

I took a blood test and my GGT shows 232. This apparently is high. I have no symptoms I've read about - nausea, weight loss, yellow skin - and I don't have Hepatitis.

Obviously I'm a bit worried. The problem is, I don't know what the bench mark is. When the test results say "high", how does 232 compare to someone, for example, who is an alcoholic and drinks a bottle of vodka a night. Would they be 250, or 1000?

I'm having February off the drink to try and reduce these levels, and in March will change my drinking habits drastically.

Could there be anything else which makes the levels high? I have been on anti depressants for two years, but my doctor says these shouldn't effect the levels.

My other levels are also high:

Amino Transfer: 78

ALT: 158

Hope someone can offer advice.

Thanks!

I would definitely consult with your gp as Your levels are quite high. Could be a virus or anything though sounds more like you may have been drinking a few more units than advisable. I would cut out all alcohol and retest in a month. Good luck
