Wissenswertes über "GGT value"
The gamma-glutamyltransferase value (GGT value) is an important laboratory parameter for assessing liver function.
The gamma-glutamyltransferase value (GGT value) is an important laboratory parameter for assessing liver function. It provides information about possible liver damage, inflammation or excessive exposure to alcohol, medication or toxins. An elevated GGT value can indicate liver diseases such as fatty liver, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis or bile congestion. Excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications or chronic inflammation can also increase the values.
The standard values for GGT vary depending on the laboratory, gender and age, but are usually below 39 U/l in women and 55 U/l in men. A permanently elevated GGT value should be clarified by a doctor in order to identify possible causes and provide targeted treatment. In addition to medical measures, targeted dietary and lifestyle changes can help to relieve the liver.
A liver-friendly diet with plenty of vegetables, foods containing bitter substances such as artichokes and milk thistle as well as antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C & E can support liver function. Omega-3 fatty acids from oily fish or linseed oil have an anti-inflammatory effect, while sufficient fluid intake promotes detoxification processes. Lactoferrin is being studied for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and may also play a role in supporting liver health.
Eliminating alcohol, reducing sugar and processed foods and exercising regularly will help to lower GGT levels and improve liver health in the long term.
