Understanding Gamma Glutamyl Transferase in Navi Mumbai


What is Gamma Glutamyl Transferase in Navi Mumbai?

The Gamma Glutamyl Transferase test is a blood test that measures the level of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), a liver enzyme that helps metabolize medicines and other harmful substances (toxins). It is widely available at an affordable price in Navi Mumbai with Tata 1mg labs. The GGT test is commonly used in assessing liver health and diagnosing liver conditions. An elevated level of GGT in the blood may indicate liver damage, bile duct blockage, or excessive alcohol consumption. It can also be raised in cases of diabetes, heart failure, or pancreatitis. 

This test is recommended if you have symptoms such as dark urine, pale stools, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or unexplained fatigue suggestive of a liver disease. No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. However, inform your doctor about all the medications or supplements that you are taking as these may affect the test results. 

 

What does Gamma Glutamyl Transferase measure?

Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found in various organs, with the highest concentration in the liver. Usually, this enzyme is present in low levels in the blood. However, when there is liver damage or disease, GGT is released into the bloodstream, causing an increase in GGT levels. In addition to the liver, GGT can also be elevated in conditions affecting the bile ducts or the pancreas. It is usually, the first liver enzyme to rise in the blood when there is any damage or obstruction in the bile duct, making it one of the most sensitive liver enzyme tests for detecting bile duct problems.
