High GGT and ALP levels may occur due to liver inflammation, blocked bile ducts, gallbladder problems, fatty liver, alcohol consumption, certain medications, or bone disorders. Your doctor will interpret these results alongside your other tests and symptoms and may recommend further investigations, such as an ultrasound or bone scans, to determine the exact cause and guide appropriate management.
