About Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase
GGT is a liver enzyme used to detect liver disease and alcohol-related damage.
The reasons for low GGT
Low GGT is typically not concerning but may be linked to low alcohol consumption and good liver function.
The reasons for elevated GGT
High GGT is a marker of liver disease, bile duct issues, or chronic alcohol use. Reducing alcohol, improving liver health, and managing metabolic disorders can help.
Is it bad too have too high/low GGT?
No known health risks for low GGT.
Elevated GGT suggests chronic liver disease, bile duct obstruction, excessive alcohol use, and increased cardiovascular risk.
