Elevated LFT
Hello Doctor, my father had an angioplasty on 7th Jan 2026. His latest blood report shows an elevated GGT (154) and ALT (69). I have attached the Ultrasound, and Fibroscan reports.
He is currently taking Ecosprin 75, Prasudoc 10, Tazloc 20, Orofer XT, and Nikoran 5 in the morning; and Atorva 20, Concor 2.5, and Nikoran 5 at night. He also finished a 12-week course of Uprise 60K recently.
Could the high GGT be due to the Atorva, his daily intake of homemade paneer, or the Vitamin D? Please let us know how we can bring these levels down safely.

Do not stop the statin. That is a life saving medication for him. Just monitor the LFT every 2 months.
Alcohol???

Hi,
mild elevation in GGT and ALT is quite common after starting a statin like Atorva.
It's not serious and settles with time or dose adjustment.
Continue monitoring and avoid alcohol.
A consultation would help clarify this.
