Raised GGT/ALT. Completely lost.
Hello all. I literally found this forum minutes after speaking with my GP. I am 37, 6'1, 15 stone. Don't drink alcohol over the weekly suggested amount, and don't smoke. I was told today that my GGT levels are at 100, and that my ALT is 66. Doctor didn't explain clearly what this meant or

Starting actemra this month
Good morning. I have been approved for actemra starting this month. I have had GCA since October 2018. Started at 60prednisone. Reduced to 9 by July 5 2020. Then lost 1/3 of my eye sight in my right eye overnight on July 6. Up to 50. Now at 39. My question: what rate did you reduce your prednisone

Delayed scans
So I was referred for a liver scan as my ggt was 216 and my alt was 42 everything else normal. Assumed it was alcohol related but didn’t think I drank that much! I rang today to chase as it’s been nearly 4 week, told me oh there’s a back log we’re doing all urgent scans so it’s probably going to be

Ace inhibitors versus arbs
I am new to the forum. I have taken blood pressure medication for a number of years: 25mg Atenolol; 2.5mg Ramipril and as these didn't control BP, bendroflumathiazide was added. With the medication BP was around 145/75. My GP stopped bendroflumothiazide last year. Ramipril was increased, but BP

Worried about AST/ALT ratio
Hi all. This is my first post. I’m a 38 year old female from the United States currently going through a stressful divorce.

Ggt not reducing after quitting alcohol
Hi, I have raised ggt levels. Was originally 280. I was a heavy drinker for years, bottle of wine around 4 days out of 7 but also lots of days off. After 3 months of not drinking my ggt reduces to 146 and after a further 6 months of not drinking it’s still at 147. Is it normal for it to stop decreasing
