Low Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): what it means

Reference range: Approximately 5–50 U/L; men slightly higher than women

What a low Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) can mean
- Usually not clinically actionable.
- Vitamin B6 deficiency — same cofactor dependency as ALT/AST.
When to discuss with a doctor
An isolated GGT elevation (with normal ALP, ALT, AST) is often dismissable — alcohol, obesity or medication. Persistent elevation alongside ALP indicates a true biliary issue worth a primary-care visit, ultrasound and possibly MRCP. Mediora.AI shows GGT in context with the rest of the liver panel.
How to raise a low Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)
A low Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is not raised by diet or habits. It reflects something else going on, so what actually helps is finding that cause with a doctor - the value follows once the cause is addressed.
