Low CGT

I recently had a bunch of blood work done, and my CGT level was 2.5.  In the past few years it had been in the low 20's.  I am concerned about this low level; I have some small, supposedly benign cysts on my liver. My doc hasn't indicated any concern over the low level, is there any cause for concern?

I have checked around and cannot find a condition with low GGT levels. I think you are safe on that count.

Sorry, it's GGT, gamma GT (?) I believe an enzyme in liver that converts alcohol into sugar.  Please note my other comment about my using coumadin and asa. Thank you, Dan

I forgot to mention I take 6.4 mg coumadin + 80 mg asa daily- prosthetic aortic and mitral valves, but have been doing so for 10+ years. Levels in the 20's were while on coumadin/asa.
