The GGT test typically helps to detect liver and bile duct injury - such as the bile duct obstruction you've read about. While some doctors use it in all people they suspect of having liver disease, others use it only to help explain the cause of other changes or if they want to find out about 'alcohol use.' For example, both ALP and GGT are elevated in disease of the bile ducts and in some liver diseases, but only ALP will be elevated in bone disease. If the GGT level is normal in a person with a high ALP, the cause could be bone disease. GGT can also be used to screen for alcohol use. Statistics suggest that it is elevated in about 75% of those who drink fairly regularly or drink too frequently.
If you do drink, I'd suggest you stop and get retested to see if there is a change.
GGT has nothing to do with a vasectomy or sexual activity to my knowledge.
