Can my gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) level be elevated if I don have any symptoms?
Yes, GGT is very sensitive and can be increased when you don’t have symptoms. This elevation may be temporary, perhaps due to medications you are taking or alcohol ingested within 24 hours of the test. If other liver enzymes are normal, your doctor may just wait and then repeat the GGT test. If the GGT is very high and/or your other liver enzymes are elevated, your doctor may want to do more extensive testing to search for the cause.
