Hi

My neuro just called and said my ggt was elevated but he did 2 hr. I know u guys recommended 3 hr and that's what I asked but the doc failed to send correct lab orders.
Anyways he said it is elevated and he is wanting me to go to my gp and do further testing.

Since my skin biopsy is normal.(only biopsies one spot) then what's going in.
I did a lot if reading on thyroid issues and a lot of people are complaing of facial spasms along with all over with thyroid issues. (blood in urine a clue perhaps).
Any advice

Thankyou

The longer tests show more LOW developments. If you read high on a short one, I suspect you will find abnormalities with a longer one too.

You are righ mrs d.

If any one has a clue as any ties with thyroid please infor me

My neuro is filling out papers to fer me in NIH.
But it's so hard to get in.

I just went to my gp and asked her about ggt being abnormal and she said iys mild and don't worry about it. It was 160
So u know shes wrong but anyways ha her run some special antibodies to thyroid.

Does GIT reading go down or up in a "normal" reading as time goes on? This confuses me. Mine was 145 after 2 1/2 hours. Is it supposed to decrease or increase after 2 hours in a normal reading?

I have read that Glucose Intolerance can be a marker for small fiber neuropathy. I believe Fasting Blood sugar can be ok, but GIT test can show a problem, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey

I think it goes down as time foes I indicating u can handle the glucose. And do what's needed

It can be for sfn. U have biopsy coming up so good luck
When was your ggt done last

Here is a link that illustrates some abnormal GTT results:

Remember low readings also starve nerve endings, as well as high readings which show glucose is not getting into cells either.
Low and High are both implicated in insulin resistance.

This gets complicated. Typically called impaired glucose tolerance. After a period of low blood sugar a healthy liver then provides glucose thru gluconeogenesis, and this may overcompensate and raise levels again, hours after a GTT.
