THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING ASK AYURVEDA

A GGT OF 60 BY ITSELF IS ONLY A MILD RISE AND WHEN EVERY OTHER LIVER TEST IS NORMAL, IT IS USUALLY NOTHING SERIOUS IN YOUR CASE. THE REASON IS LIKELY THE CHICKENPOX WHICH YOU HAD IN APRIL AND THE MEDICINES WITH TAKEN DURING THAT TIME. VIRAL INFECTIONS LEAVE BEHIND A bit of internal heat AND THE LIVER ATAYS SENSITIVE FOR FEW MONTHS ANTIVIRAL AND PARACETAMOL INCREASE THAT LOAD SLIGHTLY

Hello, I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ can totally relate to your concern when you see an abnormal value in your report. Please do not be afraid—usually, an isolated increase of GGT to a mild extent is reversible and not harmful, particularly when the rest of the liver tests are normal. Let me guide and assure you properly. 😊

✅ YOUR CONCERN AND PROBABLE CAUSES

Your GGT level = 60 with all other liver function test parameters normal indicates a minor liver enzyme disturbance rather than liver disease.

In your instance, the most probable causes may be: – Viral infection recently (Chickenpox in April) – Antiviral drugs + excessive Paracetamol use – Post-viral liver condition (very common) – Age-related slight metabolic slowdown

Because: Alcohol is not part of your lifestyle You eat homemade food You have no symptoms of any kind

➡️ This is NOT a condition with any risk and it is totally reversible.

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION You can use these drugs to detoxify your liver in a gentle manner and also strengthen it:

1. Bhunimbadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 15 ml water, two times a day before eating (Most effective for post-viral liver inflammation & enzyme normalization)

2. Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet two times a day after meal (Helps liver function & normalizes enzymes)

3. Guduchi Tablet – 1-0-1 after food (Facilitates post-viral recovery & immunity)

Duration: 1 month

✅ HOME REMEDIES

1. Warm jeera water every morning 2. Amla juice 20 ml with water once daily 3. Adding turmeric in your food every day 4. Completely refrain from unnecessary painkillers

✅ DIET PLAN

✅ INCLUDE:

Steamed vegetables Bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin Pomegranate, apple, papaya Moong dal, rice, soft rotis 1 tsp cow ghee daily

❌ AVOID:

Deep-fried food Pickles Bakery items Cheese, butter, heavy sweets Excess tea/coffee

✅ LIFESTYLE TIPS

Early dinner, before 7:30 PM Daily 30 minutes walking Proper sleep by 10 PM Avoid overthinking and repeated testing

✅ INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED

Repeat LFT with GGT after 45 days Ultrasound abdomen (only if GGT remains high)

Your GGT rise is: Mild Post-viral & post-medicine related Not dangerous Fully reversible with proper care

This report does not indicate that you have liver disease.

With adequate Ayurvedic liver support, your GGT will turn back to normal on its own in just a few weeks.

Warm Regards, Dr Snehal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Vidhate

GGT, or gamma-glutamyl transferase, is an enzyme found primarily in the liver. It’s involved in various bodily processes and can sometimes elevate due to liver damage or disease. However, a GGT level of 60, while slightly above the typical range, is not alarmingly high. Your previous bout with chickenpox and the medication you took could have caused transient liver stress.

Consider mild liver support through Ayurveda to help restore balance. Start with a gentle detoxification using herbs like Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and Kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa). These are traditionally used to promote liver health. You can take them as a powdered form or decoction; half teaspoon twice a day in warm water would suffice for each herb.

Focus on a diet that enhances liver function. Include freshly cooked meals emphasizing foods like beets, carrots and dark leafy greens - they help support liver detoxification. Avoid raw foods that could stress digestion and heavy foods high in fats.

Pay attention to your digestion. In Ayurveda, weak agni (digestive fire) can affect the liver. Drink warm ginger tea in the morning to stimulate agni and aid digestion throughout the day. Avoid cold, hard-to-digest foods and drinks.

Consider pranayama (breathing exercises) and gentle yoga to encourage circulation and detoxification. Pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing), practiced every morning for 10-15 minutes, can be quite beneficial.

Keep hydrating well, around 8-10 glasses of water daily, and ensure proper rest. While your lifestyle is already healthy, relax your mind through meditation, reducing any stress impact on the liver.

If your GGT levels doesn’t return to normal or other symptoms develop, consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying liver issues.
