I recently had a complete blood screening.  Everything was normal except my GGT level.  How much wine is safe for a healthy woman, 59 years old.  My GGT level was 228 a month ago, doctor cut alcohol comsumption in half which is about 3 glasses of wine a week.  Now my GGT one month later is 167.  Do I continue to decrease alcohol consumption till its normal again.  And when it it normal, is there a safe amount of wine a woman is safe to drink on a weekly basis..I like to mostly drink a glass a few times a week for social events.  I am healthy ad work out 5 days a week.  I would appreciate your input.  Thank you!I am 59 years old.  5"6". I weight 155 pounds and are on no medications.  Supplements are calcium, multivitamin, Vit. D3 (1000 ui) and femhurt for hot flashes.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. GGT level is increased in alcoholism and homeostasis.  You should also go for ultrasound abdomen to rule out any homeostasis. You need to decreased alcohol consumption till your GGT level come down below 50.  Furthermore, you can take very small quantity alcohol but monitoring of your liver enzymes level is must. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
