He has ALT 66.30 IU/L, AST 54.80 IU/L, GGT 75.00 IU/L. What does it mean? Is it a chronic condition? Note: He drank alcohol the night before he got the biochemistry test.

Mildly elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT) can occur temporarily, especially if alcohol was consumed the night before the test. These levels suggest liver irritation but do not confirm chronic liver disease by themselves. It is best to avoid alcohol and repeat the liver function test after 2 to 3 weeks to check if levels return to normal. If they remain high, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a Lipid Profile Test Test
