Hello,
Fatty liver indicates accumulation of fast in the liver. The common causes are alcohol, hepatitis c , obesity.as your last and alt are normal it is not a cause for worry. High GGT can be a result of alcohol intake. In case you consume alcohol I would advise you to cut down on intake. We need to rule out hepatitis C .
Hope his helps
