GGT

Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is a liver enzyme that is elevated in various liver and biliary tract diseases, including liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, and bile duct obstruction. It is also elevated in alcohol abuse and certain medications, such as phenytoin and phenobarbital.

A GGT test can help diagnose and monitor liver and biliary tract diseases and assess alcohol consumption. It is often ordered along with other liver function tests, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), to evaluate liver health. Additionally, the GGT test can be used to monitor treatment progress and determine the severity of liver disease.
