Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) Blood Test

This test measures the named biochemical marker, which can provide information relevant to organ function or metabolic status. It may be used to investigate symptoms, contribute to monitoring, or support assessment of a known condition.

Abnormal results can have several explanations and do not establish a diagnosis on their own. Interpretation should take account of other results, medicines, medical history, and the laboratory’s reference interval.

Please follow the specimen collection and preparation instructions. Confirm any fasting or special handling requirements with the laboratory before collection.
