What causes high GGT and low Uric acid?

High GGT and low Uric acid can be caused by many reasons.

If your GGT is in between 15 U/L and 85 U/L and your Uric acid is in between 3.5 mg/dL and 7.2 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for GGT and Uric acid 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
