What does high GGT and VLDL mean in blood test?
High GGT and VLDL can be caused by numerous problems.
High levels of GGT and VLDL in the blood indicate a variety of health problems. If your blood GGT level is between 15 U/L to 85 U/L and the VLDL level is between 0 U/L to 30 mg/dL, then your body does not have any underlying health problems. But if GGT and VLDL levels exceed these levels, you should see a doctor immediately.

The blood is usually drawn from a vein on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. Drink plenty of water before your appointment. If you experience any symptoms that you are concerned about are out of the ordinary, call your doctor immediately.
