What is Gamma-GT?
Gamma-GT (Gamma-Glutamyltransferase) is an enzyme primarily present in the liver. It plays a role in the metabolism of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
Why should you have Gamma-GT tested?
Testing Gamma-GT can be useful for assessing liver health and for detecting liver diseases, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis. It can also assist in detecting alcohol misuse or exposure to hepatotoxic medications or substances.
What does it indicate?
A Gamma-GT test is used to check for signs of liver damage or disease. It helps identify blockages in the bile ducts and can be used as part of the evaluation of certain liver diseases.
What does a high Gamma-GT level mean?
A high level of Gamma-GT in the blood may indicate liver damage or disease. It can also be associated with excessive alcohol consumption, the use of certain medications, or exposure to hepatotoxic substances.
What does a low Gamma-GT level mean?
Low levels of Gamma-GT are generally not cause for concern and are rarely considered clinically significant. However, extremely low levels may, in rare cases, indicate reduced liver function.
