What is GGT?
GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase) is a blood test that measures the level of the GGT enzyme, which plays a role in breaking down proteins and transferring amino acids. It is primarily used to evaluate liver function and detect bile duct obstructions, liver disease, or chronic alcohol use.
Preparation may involve fasting for up to 8 hours. During the test, a blood sample is drawn from a vein, typically in the arm.
Risks are minimal, such as slight bruising or discomfort. Results are interpreted by comparing the GGT level to the normal range; elevated levels may indicate liver or bile duct issues.
Certain medications and alcohol can affect results.
What to expect & how to prepare
GGT is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.
- Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
- Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
- Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
- Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your GGT result rather than self-diagnosing.
