Hi.  I am  a 36 year old female and I had my first baby in January of this year.  She was induced 3 weeks early due to pre-eclampsia.  While pregnant I was on medication for pregnancy induced hypertension and was given an intraveneous dose of magnesium sulphate during labour.  Whilst my blood pressure gradually reduced c5 weeks after labour and I am not on blood pressure tablets anymore, it is still higher than pre pregnancy *125/70 v 145/88).  About 3 years before I got pregnant, I went to the doc because I was feeling tired and was prone to stomach cramps.  Had ultrasounds etc due to high level of GGT and was diagnosed with fatty liver (didnt have a biopsy but most other tests).  Didnt drink a lot but abstain from drinking alcohol now and the GGT level had reduced before pregnancy and back to nearly normal.  When I was in hospital my GGT level increased again.  I have been having it tested c every 6 weeks since March of this year.  Whilst it had been dropping by c60 every test (it was c790 in March) the last 2 tests showed no movement (stayed at c460) and I was tested last week and its gone up to 560.  What could be causing this?  I have not touched alcohol, but do feel a bit tired and slightly dizzy from time to time.  Thanks.
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist. There are only few causes of elevation of GGT, among which alcohol intake is most common. Apart from this these are:chronic viral hepatitis, lack of blood flow to the liver, liver tumor, cirrhosis, or overuse of certain Chat Doctor.  So I will suggest you to visit to your doctor for evaluation for these causes. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
