A liver (hepatic) function panel is a blood test to check how well the liver is working....To learn more, see:Total Protein.Albumin.Bilirubin (total and direct).Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP).Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST).Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT).
GT is the test for cholestasis during or immediately following pregnancy. Commonly elevated in cirrhosis and hepatitis. The transaminases, AST and ALT rise higher in acute viral hepatitis; these tests with GT and other parameters are best used together in work-up of liver disease.
A biliary enzyme that is especially useful in the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice, intrahepatic cholestasis, and pancreatitis. 1 GT is more responsive to biliary obstruction than are aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (SGPT).
In ascitic fluid, very high GT is said to suggest hepatoma as opposed to cirrhosis or liver metastases.
The patient should fast for eight hours prior to collection of the specimen. Since there are false elevations in patients on phenytoin and phenobarbital, such patients would be better served with orders for one of the alternate tests − leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) or 5′ nucleotidase.
High GT is found in infants with biliary atresia. It is increased with hyperthyroidism and decreased in those with hypothyroidism. 6 GT is comparable in many ways to two other biliary tests, LAP and 5′ nucleotidase. In some cases, five tests (including alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin) are necessary to evaluate the biliary tract. GT usually is the most sensitive.
Useful in diagnos is of chronic alcoholic liver disease, but some heavy drinkers do not have GT increases. Serial determinations of serum GT, AST, and ALT levels can distinguish recovering alcoholics who resume drinking from those who remain abstinent. 3,4 Increase in body mass is positively correlated with increased GT levels. 5 With MCV of red cells, GT is useful as a test for alcoholism.
GT is helpful to work up elevated alkaline phosphatase values. GT is a biliary excretory enzyme which is more specific for hepatic disease than is alkaline phosphatase. It is normal in most instances of renal failure. 8 GT has no origin in bone or placenta, unlike alkaline phosphatase, and age beyond infancy does not influence GT levels. Activity of GT is highest in obstructive liver disease. It is commonly elevated in patients with infectious mononucleosis. When GT and alkaline phosphatase are both high, but one is disproportionately elevated, suspect the possibility of drug-induced cholestasis (including alcoholism if it is GT which is much higher). GT, postprandial glucose, and triglyceride bear some correlation in certain groups of patients, including alcoholism and diabetes mellitus. Treatment of hypertriglyceridemia may also lead to decreased GT. GT is normal in normal children, adolescents, and in pregnant women. Unlike AST, it is not elevated in skeletal muscle disease.
