Markedly 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 کاملGamma-glutamyltransferase as a cardiovascular risk factor.
The association of a novel factor with clinical vascular disease must meet the same high standard met by ‘traditional’ risk factors. Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity is a low-cost, highly sensitive laboratory test: though it is currently considered as an index of hepatobiliary dysfunction and alcohol abuse, pathology studies from our group since 1998 have indicated its possible ro...
متن کاملCirculating gamma-glutamyltransferase fractions in cirrhosis.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Four gamma-gultamyltransferases (GGT) fractions (b-, m-, s-, and f-GGT) have been identified in human plasma and their concentrations and ratios vary in different pathological conditions. To assess the behaviour of fractional GGT in cirrhotic patients evaluated for liver transplantation. METHODS This was a single-centre, cross-sectional study; GGT fractions were determined b...
متن کاملGenetically elevated gamma-glutamyltransferase and Alzheimer's disease
Observational epidemiological evidence supports a linear and independent association between serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) concentrations and the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the causality of this association has not been previously investigated. We sought to assess the causal nature of this association using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Using inverse-variance ...
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...
