Hi and welcome to HCM Thanks for the query.
This is moderately elevated ggt and considering that he has cirrhosis then this is not critic ggt level especially if other findings are fine. Actually this is pretty fine ggt level for someone with cirrhosis.so you should not treat lab findings,but his conditions and symptoms.
Wish you good health. Regards
