What is Gamma-GT (GGT)?

Measures Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase, a liver enzyme that is particularly sensitive to alcohol-related liver damage and bile duct disorders.

Why is this test important?

GGT is the most sensitive liver enzyme for detecting bile duct problems. Elevated GGT with elevated ALP suggests biliary disease. Isolated GGT elevation often indicates alcohol use or medication effects.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours.
