Patient: hi i am 36, last year in september 2013, my ggt was below 45, i was drinking 2-3 bottles of 650ml of beer daily for 5 years now, but was doing sport, in october i quit sport due to a disk problem, but keep drinking and  this year the ggt level rise up to 618, i am anxious and afraid of dying, could you please advise how to lower the ggt level the quickest possible, thanks Doctor: Hi!Welcome to HCM!Elevated levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) alone or with elevated liver enzymes are highly indicative of liver disease with or without cirrhosis. Since you have been a heavy drinker for the last 5 years or so this is reflected in the form of suspected liver injury giving rise of elevated levels of GGT.Over time, your GGT level will fall from whatever level it was at when you stopped drinking alcohol to within the normal range. This can take several weeks to more than a month. Abstaining from alcohol will decrease your chances of further damaging your liver and should allow your liver function to improve.My dear take care of your precious health, avoid drinking alcohol as time again and again the scientists across the globe have proved that it virtually damages almost all the organs of the body in short period of time.Take care of your health.Best regards!
