Why did they test your Gamma GT levels? Were your other LFTs off?

I did a complete screening and the two "not regular" values were platelets and Gamma GT.

If the other liver function tests were normal then it's probably nothing. Some of the causes of a high GGT are listed here..

It's certainly nothing to do with ITP although the low platelet count might possibly go with the GGT level and not be ITP either. I imagine your doctor said to do another test in a few weeks to see if it had gone back to normal.
