Gamma-glutamyl Transferase (GGT)
Explanation: Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found mainly in the liver, with smaller amounts in the bile ducts, pancreas, and kidneys. GGT levels in the blood often rise when the liver or bile ducts are damaged, making it a useful indicator for identifying and monitoring liver-related issues.
Test purpose:
- Detect and monitor liver diseases, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or alcoholic liver disease.
- Help distinguish whether elevated alkaline phosphatase is due to skeletal disease (normal gamma-glutamyltransferase: GGT) or reflect the presence of hepatobiliary disease (elevated GGT).
