What is GGT Test?
The GGT test measures the level of gamma-glutamyl transferase, an enzyme found in the liver and bile ducts. It is used to evaluate liver function, detect liver disease, or monitor alcohol use.
What is GGT Report Format?
A GGT report presents the measured GGT level in the blood, typically in units per liter (U/L), and compares it with the reference range to assess liver health.
Tests Included in GGT Report
Test | Description |
GGT | Measures the level of gamma-glutamyl transferase in the blood, helping assess liver function. |
Key Parts of a GGT Report
Key Part | Description |
GGT Level | The concentration of GGT enzyme in the blood, typically measured in U/L. |
Normal Range | The reference range for GGT to determine if the result is normal. |
Normal Range for GGT Report
Test | Normal Range |
GGT | 9 – 48 U/L (varies by age, sex, and laboratory standards) |
Parameters to Consider in GGT Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
GGT Level | High levels of GGT can indicate liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or excessive alcohol consumption. Low levels are typically normal. |
Guidelines for GGT Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Test Results | Present the GGT level in U/L. |
Interpretation | Provide context on whether the result is within normal limits or suggests liver-related issues. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
High GGT | Elevated levels suggest liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or excessive alcohol use. |
Low GGT | Low levels are typically normal and may indicate good liver function. |
GGT Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
GGT | High levels may indicate liver damage or alcohol abuse, while low levels typically suggest normal liver function. |
