Order GGT Test | Gamma Glutamyl Transferase TestThe GGT test measures the amount of gamma-glutamyl transferase in the blood. This enzyme is found mainly in the liver and bile ducts, and its level can rise when those tissues are irritated or damaged. Because GGT is sensitive but not specific, it is usually interpreted alongside other liver tests rather than on its own.
About GGT Test | Gamma Glutamyl Transferase Test in Orem
Gamma-glutamyl transferase is an enzyme involved in the transfer of amino acids across cell membranes.
GGT is present in several tissues, but the liver contributes most of the enzyme circulating in blood. Levels can increase when bile flow is obstructed or when liver cells are injured, which makes the test useful as a general marker of hepatobiliary activity.
A single GGT result is rarely diagnostic by itself. Clinicians typically compare it with alkaline phosphatase, aminotransferases, and bilirubin to distinguish between bile duct problems and liver cell damage, and to judge whether a finding is isolated or part of a broader pattern.
Several factors unrelated to liver disease can influence GGT, including alcohol use, certain medications, and some non-hepatic conditions. For this reason, results are evaluated in the context of the person's history, other laboratory findings, and any additional testing the clinician considers appropriate.
