📅 Medical Review Date: September 20, 2025

GGT 219

Your GGT level of 219 is a High GGT level.

A GGT level of 219 U/L usually means the liver or bile ducts are affected. It suggests liver damage or alcohol use. High levels of GGT can cause fatigue, jaundice, dark urine, pale stools, itching, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. This can be caused by alcohol-related liver disease, fatty liver, hepatitis, bile duct obstruction, or certain medications. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

High GGT levels may indicate underlying health problems. The normal range is typically between 15 U/L and 85 U/L. If your levels are outside this range, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider. Consulting a doctor is recommended to determine the cause and appropriate next steps.
