Dear Sir, Your microalbuminuria screening is perfectly fine meaning your kidneys are working very well. Normal value of Gamma-Glutamyl transferase is generally 0-30 IU/L. GGT is an indication of your liver function. The most common cause for elevation is due to alcohol intake. GGT is normally done along with LFT. There is nothing to be scared for a slight elevation in GGT. Kindly Repeat GGT along with LFT after a month
