Can I just ask if you drink a lot of alcohol and why the liver tests were done?

[pete2450]

No i dont really drink much . i had my gallbladder removed about 5 months ago and have had chest/stomach pains ever since.
Thanks

[nomorepanic]

ok thanks cos the GGT is typically used to indicate excessive alcohol use, hence why I asked.

The ALT indictates inflammation I believe.

Are you on any medication as that can increase liver test results as well?

[pete2450]

i take a statin to control cholestral and ramipril for blood pressure. I have type 2 diabeties which is diet controlled.
Thanks

Ok well I am on a statin and Ramipril as well so maybe not that.

I guess you will have to see what the doc says but I just thought those readings were very high to be honest.
