The next step will be rising AST, ALT and and yes ultimately. Improvement in nutrition, particularly iron and Vit B12 will be helpful. In general, an increased GGT level indicates that a person's liver is being damaged but does not specifically point to a condition that may be causing the injury.

What are gamma GT and LDH tests done for?

Hi all hope its a good week for you, its taken me ages to finally locate the site and now I have found it here goes, well I have received my results in a formal report back from the Professor of Gastroentology, who dealt with me, I am now told I have microscopic colitis and conspicuous eosinophil's whatever they are, all blood tests i. LFTs were normal but Gamma GT is raised and was 92 so my Dr decided to do another 2 weeks ago, this time test said 180, everything else was fine again except Cholesterol was high before Christmas. Any help would be really appreciated. Started Gym in January and have lost 9% body fat and toned up much LOL so would love to get to the bottom of this. Thanks for reading Cant find were to edit so added a reply as I read that it helps if you have numbers, so here are the results of last lot taken September last year. Serum B12 518 220---700 serum Folate 16. Hope this gives all figures Thanks again Dear AlexandriaUK, Many thanks for posting on our community, and for providing me with some background information regarding your current health. Have you got any symptoms right now? I expect you will receive your results soon from your recent blood test. With regard to the elevated GGT, as soon as an abnormal result appears, the GP usually asks about alcohol consumption. I do not know for certain, but can I presume that you are a female? If so, then I would just like to explain that for some reason, the GGT levels can increase in women as they get older. Also, if you are a smoker, the GGT will be higher. Can you remember if your bloods were taken on a fasting sample? I only say this because the GGT level can decrease after meals, and therefore give an inaccurate measurement. For GGT testing especially, a fasting test is required. Plus, is you have any fat in your liver, this will increase your GGT level. But, from looking at your ALT result, that all looks normal, and not suggesting that your liver is inflamed. The fact that your CRP was increased to 12, indicates that you had an infection, possibly correlating to the microscopic colitis. When looking at a raised GGT level, I would also be looking carefully at the alkaline phosphatase result. When this and the GGT are increased, it can sometimes indicate a bile duct obstruction, e. When alkaline phosphatase is raised WITHOUT an elevated GGT, this would most likely be correlating to a bone condition. However, I would not want to alarm you, but at least you know that the GGT is not always connected to a direct liver problem. It will be interesting to see what your GGT result is right now, and also what other tests your GP has requested. You mentioned that your cholesterol had been elevated prior to Christmas, but that this test has now been repeated. It is really important to know what your triglyceride level is, because some people have a predisposition similar to familial hypercholesterolaemia to a high level of triglycerides.

In the meantime, all good wishes to you and kind regards, Sarah Tattersall Helpline Manager — Hi Sarah thank you so much for replying to my thread, rang you earlier after visit to my Dr, she had my results back from gastroentologists tests, right she said first and foremost she had never seen so many blood tests in one go and most of them she hadn't seen before but they came through with normal levels to compare to, so every result was normal, 4 A4 pages, except gamma gt again but even that wasn't too bad as it's gone down from 180 to 125,. He did put in that as it's the only raised result it could be my colitis that's raising it but I'm not sure, you asked about cholesterol, this was my last results from November2014 Cholesterol November 2014 Total 7. That's how it stands at the moment, thanks for reading. So sorry you are needing a transplant is there no reason why you need a transplant or do specific health problems cause it, I don't know a great deal about it, had a friend's dad have a transplant before Christmas but until about four years ago he was an alcoholic I am not saying you or any one else is just have never had a reason to look into this body organ, hope you are feeling a bit better and glad your ggt is going down but it's still high Hi I think it's not a black and white answer to this b problem had my bloods done again today decided that as it went down in too weeks 3 weeks should hopefully show a difference, doesn't seem to go down fast. So how long before you get transplant is it soon? So is the autoimmune disease you have caused by anything in particular or just bad luck, I have RA and that's an autoimmune disease Hi Itchy hope your feeling a little better, I just got my results and madly its gone back up to 185, bloody stupid as I haven't even had a sip of wine for weeks, Gastroentologists has said for my Dr to either deal with it or refer me to herpetologist? Cholesterol has gone up so on strict diet now to try and lower it as she said no statins till we know if it will be bad for liver, I wonder if its a reflection of the high cholesterol causing to raised Gamma Gt Any thoughts. I feel a bit ashamed though to be worried when I read some of the threads on here, and especially as yours is so high. Alex So I just got my blood results from last week, cholesterol now down to 6.
