Gamma GT I-Chem,2x30 Tests

Intended Use : For “in vitro” determination of GGT in serum or plasma in the ChemWell-T automated clinical chemistry analyzer. Not meant for use on any other chemistry analyzer or by manual method. Introduction: Gamma Glutamate transaminase (GGT) is a membrane localized enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of glutamyl groups from glutathione to amino acids or peptides. Large GGT amounts are present in secretory organs: kidney, liver, bile duct, and pancreas. Although the GGT activity is highest in renal tissue, serum GGT is generally elevated as a result of liver disease. Since alcohol induces GGT production, measurement of GGT activity is used for monitoring of abstinence in withdrawal treatment.
