serum r-glutamyltransferase

The r-glutamyltransferase GGT, formerly known as r-glutamyltranspeptidase r-GT, is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of r-glutamyl on glutathione to another peptide or to another amino acid. GGT is found in stem cell membranes and microsomes and is involved in the metabolism of glutathione. Kidney, liver and pancreas are abundant, but the GGT in serum is mainly from the hepatobiliary system. Gammaglutamyl transferase (γ-GT) is an oxidoreductase which is a very important transferase in human serum. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Tips: Keep it relaxed and breathe normally. Normal value Alanine aminotransferase ALTIU/L0-40 uric acid UAumol/L140-430 glucose GLUumol/L3.9-6.1 triglyceride TGumol/L0.4-1.8 total cholesterol T-CHOLumol/L2.8-5.69 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) Elevation is a very common phenomenon in the clinic. The liver is the body's largest detoxification organ. Whether the organ is normal or not is very important to the human body. ALT raises an important indicator of liver function problems. Clinical significance Abnormal result 1, viral hepatitis This is the most common cause of elevated transaminase, all kinds of acute and chronic viral hepatitis can lead to elevated transaminase. 2, toxic hepatitis A variety of drugs and chemicals can cause elevated transaminase, but after stopping the drug, transaminase can return to normal. 3. Alanine aminotransferase will also increase in large or long-term drinkers. 4, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer cirrhosis activities, transaminase are higher than normal levels, should be actively treated. 5, biliary tract disease cholecystitis, cholelithiasis acute attack, often have fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, blood bilirubin and elevated transaminase. 6, heart disease acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis, heart failure, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase are elevated, patients often have chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, edema. Cardiac examination has positive signs and abnormal ECG. People who need to check alcohol, stay up all night, fatigue. Precautions Taboo before check-up: Drinking a lot or not eating properly. Requirements for inspection: Keep it relaxed and breathe normally. Inspection process The detection instrument uses LX20 automatic biochemical analyzer, ALT, γ-GT is the rate method; Chol and TG are enzymatic methods; GLU is glucose oxidase method; HDL-C is direct method. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate people: alcoholics, liver damage, history of cholecystitis. Adverse reactions and risks Risk of infection: If you use an unclean needle, you may be at risk of infection.
