Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase Levels in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels, cerebrovascular risk factors, and distribution of cerebral infarct areas in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Patients and Methods. Sixty patients with AIS and 44 controls who had not cerebrovascular disease were included in the study. The patients were divided into fou...
متن کاملSerum gamma glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase in acute cholecystitis.
BACKGROUND The serum level of gamma glutaryl transferase and alkaline phosphatase is raised in acute calculus cholecystitis and common bile duct stone. However, the rise in serum level of these enzymes in acute cholecystitis implies stone in the common bile duct is not well studied. Thus, it may lead to retained CBD stone on one side and unnecessary CBD exploration on the other during emergency...
متن کاملGamma glutamyl transferase.
Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) has been widely used as an index of liver dysfunction and marker of alcohol intake. The last few years have seen improvements in these areas and advances in understanding of its physiological role in counteracting oxidative stress by breaking down extracellular glutathione and making its component amino acids available to the cells. Conditions that increas...
متن کاملCan we use serum gamma-glutamyl transferase levels to predict early mortality in stroke?
OBJECTIVE Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is a marker for alcohol consumption and hepatobiliary diseases. There are reports on the prognostic role of GGT in coronary artery diseases and stroke. The aim of our study was to identify the potential differences in GGT levels in different types of stroke, and to evaluate the correlation between GGT and 30-day mortality. METHOD Patients diagn...
متن کاملIs serum gamma-glutamyl transferase a good marker of alcohol intake in stroke patients?
Serial serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels were estimated in 23 consecutive patients admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of acute stroke. The proportion of patients with elevated GGT levels in the initial, 36-hour and 72-hour samples was 13%, 30% and 24% respectively, suggesting a transient rise following a stroke. Patients with a history of diabetes mellitus had an initial serum GG...
