What causes high GGT and low Monocytes?

High GGT and low Monocytes can be caused by many reasons.

If your GGT is in between 15 U/L and 85 U/L and your Monocytes is in between 2 % and 10 % then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for GGT and Monocytes respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease GGT levels include:

• Blockage of the bile ducts.
• Cardiovascular disease
• Liver diseases
• Alcohol abuse
