Detailed explanation-1: -A gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) test measures the amount of GGT in the blood. GGT is an enzyme found throughout the body, but it is mostly found in the liver. When the liver is damaged, GGT may leak into the bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-2: -Higher than normal test results could be a sign of liver damage from diseases, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, tumors, or pancreatic cancer. But a higher-than-normal GGT level does not tell you the cause of liver disease or damage. GGT may be higher with diabetes, heart failure, hyperthyroidism, or pancreatitis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Frequently elevated GGT levels can be evaluated as a significant factor for changes in fatty liver. Elevated GGT in non-alcohol drinkers is sometimes a surrogate marker for fatty liver [13, 14]. Our data suggest that frequently elevated GGT levels are probably a good predictor of fatty liver changes to come.
