Testing for liver function is a frequently requested blood test for abdominal pain amongst other conditions. Components ALANINE TRANSAMINASE (ALT) ALBUMIN ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE GAMMA GLUTAMYL TRANSFERASE (GGT) Normal Range in Health 1-60 U/L
GGT, an abbreviation for gamma-glutamyl transferase, is a liver enzyme. It is also known as a gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP or g-GTP). A blood test can determine your GGT level and is used to detect damage to the liver. GGT levels are increased in persons with diseases that cause...

The presence of endotoxins in portal blood is found also in cirrhotic patients and is related to an impaired intestinal barrier function[179]. Non-cirrhotic NAFLD subjects have increased LPS[180] and LPS-binding protein serum levels[181]. Probiotic treatment of obese mice leads to a lower ...
I had B12 and D deficiency but after some time on supliments, my blood work is normal with the exception of a low reading of 11 for Gamma Glutamyl Transferase ( range is 14 – 62 U/L) . My Glomerular Filtration rate was 79 (An eGFR from 60 – 89 ml/min/1.73 m2 is consistent wi...
The four common liver enzymes include alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). 3. What is a high ALT level? In an ALT test result, ALT should be in the range of 4 to 36 U/L.. Higher than this concentra...
the production of substances that help blot clotting, breaking down food and toxins, and fighting against infections. Some common liver enzymes include ALP (alkaline phosphatase), ALT (alanine transaminase), AST (aspartate transaminase), and GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase). If the liver is injured...
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death, according to 2022 statistics published by the American Cancer Society [1]. At the 17th World Health Assembly [2], the WHO passed the resolution “cancer prevention and control in the context of an integrated approach” and predicted that the numb...
Routine laboratory testing usually detects an increase in alanine and aspartate aminotransferase (ALT, AST) levels, accompanied by an increase of alkaline phosphatase (AP), gamma-glutamyl-transferase (γGT), and bilirubin levels. The ALT level increases usually between 1000–3000 IU/L, but extreme...
