Hepatitis serology should be done in all patients with cholestasis, as differentiating hepatitis from extrahepatic obstructive causes may be very difficult.

Hi Adam, & I'm surprised 15 drinks/week would pop GGT as high as you've seen, so perhaps other issues might be considered since abstinence hasn't resulted in swift normalization of your GGT. The ALT & AST liver enzymes indicate liver cell death or turnover when they are elevated, but GGT is a marker for oxidative stress or glutathione turnover.
