Brief Answer: Can be treated with dietary changes. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. GGT and ALT are liver enzymes and the normal range is 0 - 45 U/L. These blood levels may be elevated due to liver disease, hepatitis, gallstones, diabetes, pancreatic disease, kidney failure, alcohol misuse, certain prescription drugs, certain herbs and supplements or taking very high amounts of supplements. The raised levels of cholesterol and triglycerides can happen due to diet or other causes like genetic factors, lifestyle, age and gender and obesity. All these can be brought back in normal range with proper medicines and lifestyle modifications. Eat healthy fats found in vegetable oils, fish,nuts, avocados, and salmon, and cut back on higher-fat foods like red meat, whole milk, chips and pastries. Avoid packaged fruit juices, fast food, take aways, fried food. Do regular exercises for 30 to 45 minutes daily. Practice yoga and meditation. Do consult your physician for proper prescription medicines in addition to the dietary modifications. Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
