    Usually (not always) GGT points to alcohol consumption.

    Can be a sign of inflammation... You will have to push your Dr for answers.

      Blood work, abdominal ultrasound, abdominal cat scan, and abdominal MRI to name the most common. I would probably ask for more detailed blood work and to start an abdominal ultrasound and go from there.

      The range for GGT is 9-48 if I remember correctly. Your GGT is pretty high... I wouldn't let them push me off....

      Yes, abdominal ultrasound by a radiologist.
