Abnormal Liver

I dont drink or smoke and my GGT was 650 U/L after a few months it went down to 460 U/L. Did ultra sound found nothing all normal.
But few days ago I feel so itchy everywhere and this is after my last blood test and check up which I had a result of GGT 460 U/L
Why is this happening?

Unfortunately GGT can be elevated due to a number of different reasons, the liver of course is one of them. Do you have any other liver panel numbers that you can share with us? Alt, Ast, Alp, bilirubin, etc? It would guide us assessing the likely possibilities of what you're dealing with.

You have something that is bothering your bile ducts (canaliculi) but not causing an excretion blockage. You should definitely keep seeing your doctor and let them get to a diagnosis. It seems that something is up but it's currently causing only mild problems.

You should work with your doctor wrt any form of treatment or changes in your lifestyle. We are not doctors, just fellow patients and friends dealing with the various liver disorders that trouble us.
