This test measures the level of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) in the blood. GGT is an enzyme found in many organs, such as the kidney, liver, spleen and pancreas; however, the main source of GGT in the blood is the liver.

GGT levels in the blood are very sensitive to changes in liver function. Normally, GGT is present in low levels, but when the liver is injured, the GGT level can rise


GGT increasing cause
Acute damage to the liver or bile ducts but is usually not helpful in distinguishing between different causes of liver damage. For this reason, use of GGT is controversial, and guidelines published by the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases do not recommend routine use of GGT. These guidelines suggest that it can be useful in determining the cause of a high alkaline phosphatase another liver enzyme.
