Comparative sensitivity of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin and gamma-glutamyltransferase.
Stauber et al. (1995) claim in the Abstract and Discussion of their paper to have demonstrated the superior sensitivity of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) to gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma-GT) for the detection of alcohol abuse in patients with liver disease. This claim is, however, derived from a study of 93 patients, only 13 of whom consumed alcohol in excess. The sensitivity of CD...
متن کاملA high performance gel filtration chromatography method for gamma-glutamyltransferase fraction analysis.
The clinical relevance of serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity, in areas other than hepatic function, has recently been increased by several epidemiological associations. Still, GGT remains a nonspecific test because of the influence of various pathophysiological factors. We devised a procedure based on gel filtration chromatography, followed by postcolumn injection of fluorescent GGT...
متن کاملRelationships of Serum Level of High- Sensitivity C- Reactive Protein (hs- CRP) and White Blood Cell (WBC) Count with Gamma- Glutamyltransferase among Iranian Healthy Adults
Background & Objective: There are many common infections and inflammations among people over the world. This demands an affordable and reliable test with high sensitivity/specificity to predict or confirm the diagnosis of such cases in routinely clinical practice. In the present study, we aimed to find any potential correlation between serum levels of GGT and CRP- Q and/or hs- CRP and ...
متن کاملMarkedly elevated gamma-glutamyltransferase.
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a highly sensitive but poorly specific liver enzyme commonly used to detect hepatobiliary disease and possible alcohol abuse. Isolated elevations of this enzyme may be due to biochemical anomalies rather than the presence of pathology.
متن کاملRacial and ethnic differences in alcohol-associated aspartate aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyltransferase elevation.
BACKGROUND Recent analyses have confirmed that Hispanic and black non-Hispanic Americans are at an increased risk for death from liver cirrhosis. The reasons for this are unknown. As a common cause of cirrhosis, differing sensitivities to alcohol-related hepatocellular injury may play a role. This study compared racial and ethnic aspartate aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyltransferase level el...
