Description
Number of Tests Included:
Single blood test measuring GGT enzyme level.
What is a GGT Test?
A biochemical test that evaluates the amount of GGT enzyme in the blood to detect liver function abnormalities and bile duct blockages.
Purpose of the Test:
Diagnose liver diseases (hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis)
Detect bile duct obstruction
Evaluate alcohol-related liver injury
Assess enzyme elevation when ALP is high
Monitor liver health during long-term medication use
Who Should Get This Test?
Individuals with jaundice or abdominal pain
People with suspected liver or gallbladder disorders
Chronic alcohol consumers
Patients on liver-affecting medications
Individuals with unexplained high ALP levels
Components of the Test:
Serum Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) measurement
Understanding the Test Report:
High GGT → Liver disease, bile duct blockage, alcohol intake, or medication effects
High GGT + High ALP → Strong indicator of bile duct obstruction
Normal GGT with high ALP → Suggests bone-related disorders instead of liver problems
Preparation and Procedure:
Routine blood sample
No special preparation needed
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before test (alcohol increases GGT)
How is the Test Done?
A blood sample is analyzed using biochemical assays to measure GGT levels.
Best Time for Test:
Anytime; morning sample preferred.
Booking and Checking Reports:
You can book the GGT test online via SDL, schedule home sample pickup, and view your report digitally.
