The relation between liver histopathology and GGT levels in viral hepatitis: more important in hepatitis B.
BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate the relationship between gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) levels and histopathological status determined by biopsy in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with chronic hepatitis B and C who were referred to the Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine Gastroenterology outpatient clinic between January 2005-January 2011 and unde...
متن کاملThe association of alcohol intake with γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels: evidence for correlated genetic effects.
BACKGROUND Blood levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) are used as a marker for (heavy) alcohol use. The role of GGT in the anti-oxidant defense mechanism that is part of normal metabolism supposes a causal effect of alcohol intake on GGT. However, there is variability in the response of GGT to alcohol use, which may result from genetic differences between individuals. This study aimed to ...
متن کاملEducational Commentary - Blood Cell Id: Identifying Immature and Abnormal Cells Learning Outcomes
The cell in Image BCI-01 is a nucleated red blood cell (RBC). Although nucleated RBCs do not normally appear in the peripheral blood of an adult, it is not unexpected in this patient’s condition owing to hematopoietic bone marrow stress. Nucleated RBCs are immature erythrocytes that still retain their nucleus. The cell in this image is typical of those most often seen in the peripheral blood of...
متن کاملThe genetic architecture of liver enzyme levels: GGT, ALT and AST.
High levels of liver enzymes GGT, ALT and AST are predictive of disease and all-cause mortality and can reflect liver injury, fatty liver and/or oxidative stress. Variation in GGT, ALT and AST levels is heritable. Moderation of the heritability of these liver enzymes by age and sex has not often been explored, and it is not clear to what extent non-additive genetic and shared environmental fact...
متن کاملAbnormal tongue features as a clinical clue for late-onset Pompe's disease.
A 58-year-old woman presented with slowly-progressive lower limb weakness. Medical history disclosed a six-year history of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Examination disclosed abnormal tongue features (Figure 1) and proximal flaccid tetraparesis. Muscle MRI showed marked compromise of the adductor magnus, and muscle biopsy disclosed vacuolar myopathy with PAS-positive vacuoles (Figure...
