GGT measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases such as alcoholic cirrhosis and primary and secondary liver tumors. GGT is found in all forms of liver disease. It is more sensitive than alkaline phosphatase, the transaminases, and leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) in detecting obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, and cholecystitis. GGT levels rise earlier in liver disease and to higher values than LAP or 5’ nucleotidase levels. Moderate elevations are seen in infectious hepatitis. However, elevated GGT levels have also been noted in chronic alcoholism, diabetes, and certain neurological disorders. Normal levels of GGT are seen in skeletal diseases; thus GGT in serum can be used to distinguish between skeletal and hepatobiliary diseases.
