Why To Buy

The GGT test helps check your liver health and can provide clues about potential damage from alcohol, drugs, or conditions affecting your gallbladder, pancreas, or liver.

Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Alcohol abuse: Elevated GGT levels can indicate excessive alcohol consumption or liver damage related to alcohol abuse.
  • Drug toxicity: Certain medications can affect your liver, and this test can help identify potential drug-induced liver injury.
  • Gallbladder issues: Problems with your gallbladder, like blockage, can sometimes cause an increase in GGT levels.
  • Jaundice: Jaundice, or yellowing of the skin and eyes, can be caused by liver problems, which may show up as high GGT levels.
  • Liver disease: This test is a key indicator of liver health and can help detect various types of liver disease or damage.
  • Pancreas problems: Issues with your pancreas can sometimes impact your liver function and may be reflected in GGT levels.
