Gamma glutamyl transferase

Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is an enzyme involved in amino acid metabolism. Urine GGT levels reflect kidney function and may indicate kidney disease or metabolic disorders. Elevated urinary GGT can suggest kidney tubular damage, certain genetic metabolic disorders, or systemic conditions affecting the kidneys. This enzyme is also found in the liver, so combined with liver function tests, it can help identify liver and kidney disease. Urine GGT testing is less common than serum testing but provides information about kidney-specific enzyme activity.
