Hello doctor,
I went to do a blood test as part of imitating a weight loss program, but I have some elevated GGT, alkaline phosphate, etc., so need some clarification about it.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You are reporting to have high GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase) and alkaline phosphatase level.
These findings are more related to,
1. Alcohol use.
2. Gallbladder issues like sludge ore inflammation.
3. Drugs side effects (rarely).
This is why I suggest doing an abdominal ultrasound to rule out gallbladder issues. If you have used alcohol recently, please stop it and repeat GGT and ALP (alkaline phosphatase) level after four weeks.
