Hi and Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the raised liver enzymes.

The raised liver enzymes are suggestive of liver injury.
In absence of alcohol intake, these enzymes are raised in the diseases of the liver, gall bladder, etc.
You are advised to consult a physician for proper evaluation and may be you need to undergo further lab tests including abdominal ultrasound to ascertain the cause of liver injury.

High GGT is usually indicative of toxin induced liver injury.
The most common toxins apart from alcohol are drugs like anti TB drugs, paracetamol, etc.

Hope this answers your query.
