Fatty liver
A recent blood test gave these results: AST48; ALT 43; GGTP 787. I've been over-drinking for a couple of months - job loss sent me into a depression. I haven't had a drink since I got this result (10 days), and the doctor says the damage is reversible: moderately fatty liver, no scarring, gall bladder

GGT level
I have recently abstained from drinking alcohol and find that I do not miss it. I have had a blood test to see if I have any problems. They came back clear, but I would like advise on my GGT level. My GGT result came back as, 35iu/L [<73.0] Please can anyone advise as whether this is good or bad?

All my liver function tests have been normal and I don't have jaundice, broken veins, etc For several years I felt I might be an alcoholic ....or on the verge of

blood test of Liver Function Test report shows high reading of GGT! Should I worry...?
My current blood test of Liver Function Test report shows high reading of GGT: Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): 123.0 (Bio. Ref. Interval 0.0 - 55.0) Please let me know what does this high GGT mean and what medication/diet should I need to start to bring it down. Also, do I need to consult a doctor

Fatty Liver Disease, no help from GP
First post, no advice from GP. After ultrasound my GP told me I have a fatty liver, I asked what this meant, she replied ‘who knows’! So I’m in the dark. I’m 55, Type 2 diabetic, try to keep within drinking limits (2-3 times per week), overweight, but take daily exercise. I know loosing weight will help
