Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) Report Format — Sample & Free Download
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is a liver enzyme measured in the blood, used mainly to detect bile duct problems (cholestasis) and alcohol-related liver damage, and to help confirm whether a raised ALP is coming from the liver rather than bone.
This is a real report generated by Dr.Lably LIS — not a mockup.
When is it ordered?
- Investigating a raised ALP to confirm it's liver-related rather than bone-related
- Screening for alcohol-related liver damage or monitoring alcohol cessation
- Evaluating suspected bile duct obstruction or cholestasis
- Follow-up for known liver conditions alongside a full LFT
Test details
- Specimen type
- Serum
- Turnaround time
- Same day (4 hours)
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase report format breakdown
| Parameter | Unit | Normal range | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| GGT | U/L | 0 - 60 | A sensitive marker for cholestasis and alcohol-related liver injury; elevated levels help confirm that a raised ALP is coming from the liver rather than bone. |
Frequently asked questions
What does a GGT report format show?
The report lists a single GGT result with unit, reference range, and status, plus a clinical notes section — as shown in the sample report above.
Do I need to fast before a GGT test?
Usually no special preparation is required, though check with your lab if it's combined with other fasting tests like LFT.
What does a high GGT mean?
Elevated GGT commonly points to alcohol-related liver stress or bile duct problems, but a doctor interprets it alongside the rest of the liver panel and clinical history.
How is GGT different from the rest of the LFT panel?
GGT is especially sensitive to bile duct and alcohol-related liver injury, and is often added to help clarify whether an isolated raised ALP is liver-related.
