One of the indicators in the liver function check-ups, gamma-diaaminocyte (GGT), is often brought to the attention of doctors when we undergo a health check or medical examination due to physical discomfort. GGT rises may be a “yellow warning” from the body, suggesting that there may be some potential health problems in our body that require us to understand in depth what they mean in order to take timely measures to protect health.
The gamma-diaamide transceiver enzymes (GGT) are widely distributed in human tissues, with high kidney, liver and pancreas levels. In the liver, GGT is mainly found on the chord side of the liver cell and in skin cells on the clarinet system, and is involved in the metabolic process of glycerine. Normally, the levels of GGTs in serum are relatively stable, but when the liver or other related organs deteriorate, GGTs are likely to rise, reflecting a change in their functional status.
The reasons for GGT ‘ s rise are varied, the most common of which is closely related to liver diseases. Alcoholic liver disease is one of the major causes of the GGT rise. Long periods of alcohol consumption can cause liver damage, and alcohol and its metabolites can stimulate hepatic cell synthesis and release GGT, as described earlier, leading to a significant increase in serum GGT levels. In the early years of alcohol hepatitis, the increase in GGT may be the only clear indicator of hepatic abnormalities, and therefore GGT examinations are important for the early detection of liver damage among people who drink alcohol for long periods.
In addition to alcohol hepatitis, hepatitis due to various causes, such as viral hepatitis, pharmacological hepatitis and self-immuno-hepatitis, also leads to an increase in GGT. During the hepatitis, hepatic cells were damaged and GGT was released into the blood of the cells, raising the serum GGT level. In addition, the cholesterol of the liver causes the GGT to rise. Whether it is cholesterol in the liver, diseases such as cirrhosis of primary cholesterol, or cholesterol in the liver, such as cholesterol, cholesterol tumours, or cholesterol in the liver, which leads to a lack of cholesterol excretion and increased pressure within the cholesterol, it stimulates cystular cell synthesis and genus GGT, which significantly increases the levels of the serum GGT and tends to increase significantly.
In addition to liver diseases, a number of other factors may lead to an increase in GGT. For example, pancreas diseases, such as pancreasitis, pancreas cancer and so on, can increase during pancreas disease due to the relevance of pancreas tissue to the embryonic and physiological function of the liver. In addition, certain cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, heart failure etc., are subject to stress during the onset of the disease, as well as changes in the blood circulation and metabolic function of the liver, which may cause a slight increase in GGT. There are also medicines, such as anti-eclampsia, anti-depressants and some antibiotics, which may have some effect on the liver during their use, leading to a GGT rise.
When GGT is found to be up, there’s no need to panic, but there’s no need to take it lightly. First, the doctor conducts a comprehensive analysis of the patient ‘ s history, symptoms, signs and other liver function indicators, such as ammonium enzyme, chlamydia, protein, etc., to make a preliminary assessment of the reasons for the GGT ‘ s rise. If it is suspected that hepatic diseases are caused, further visual examinations of the liver, such as ultrasound, CT, MRI, may be carried out to observe liver morphology, structure and blood flow, and to check if there are abnormal conditions such as hepatic hepatopathosis and cholesterol expansion. In the case of an unknown rise in GGTs, hepatic biopsies may also be required to determine the nature and extent of the liver ‘ s pathology through pathological examinations, thus establishing a precise treatment programme.
The key to the treatment of the GGT rise is to treat the cause of the disease. In the case of an increase in the GGT due to alcohol hepatitis, the first measure is to stop alcohol and to be treated with nutritional support and hepatopharmaceuticals to promote the rehabilitation and regeneration of hepatocellular cells, with a gradual decline in the GGT level as hepatic function is restored. For hepatitis patients, antivirus, anti-inflammation, etc., according to the type of hepatitis is required to control hepatitis, mitigate hepatic cell damage and restore GGT to normality. If GGT is elevated due to cholesterol, the cause of the cholesterol silt needs to be removed, such as the treatment of cholesterol through surgery, cholesterol tumours, or the use of drugs to promote excretion of cholesterol, to ease the pressure of the cholesterol, thereby reducing the GGT level. In the course of treatment, patients should also be careful to rest, avoid fatigue and maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as balanced diet, adequate exercise, etc., which contributes to physical recovery.
The increase in gamma-gavazine transceiver enzymes (GGT) is a signal from the body that we are concerned about the health of the liver and other related organs. By understanding the causes of the GGT ‘ s rise, diagnostic methods and treatments, we are better able to deal with this health problem, to identify potential diseases in a timely manner, to take effective measures to protect our health, to avoid further development and to enjoy a healthy and better life.
