Is There Any Doctor Available To Analyse This Report?
Hi
My daughter recently had a serum gt test and the results came back at 176. 4 weeks later, they have dropped to 146. This is still high I understand. What should she be asking her GP for, apart from advice on alcohol intake? She does, by her own admission, binge drink - but not (I would have thought) to the extent that she could be damaging her liver.
