A member asked:
Ggt is not included in liver function tests taken in hospitals. only included in health check reports. does this mean it's not an important indicator?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's very specific: if there is no question about the liver, there is no need to test it. but it is very useful if enzymes suggest liver injury but are not specific. GGT can help confirm or disprove a suspicion.
