[|Human|] HelloA recent blood test showed I have elevated levels of gamma gt. The results were provided to me by my doctor on the phone. He said it was likely due to alcohol but would not require retesting for 12 months. I am not an alcoholic. I didnt think to ask what the reading was. What are the health risks if the reading continues to be the same or higher? Are there any other causes apart from alcohol?Thanking you in advance of your advice.Alison
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. The most common cause of this is alcohol abuse, but it can be due to any kind of hepatitis, viral or autoimmune. So check your viral markers. Also, some heart disease and some Chat Doctor.  The main question is there significant liver damage but if ultrasounds is fine and the is no other liver enzymes or bilirubin elevation the is nothing serious. You should just follow some hepatoprotective diet and do frequent check-ups. Wish you good health.
