Hello
Increased GGT is specific for alcoholic liver injury.ALT level is also increased.
You need further investigations like viral markers,complete liver function test,lipid profile,random blood sugar,ultrasound of abdomen.
In such conditions,I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients. It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
Avoid alcohol completely if you take it.
You should also avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
You should avoid fried and junk food.
You may need to take few more medicines after evaluation.
Take Care
