Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Gamma-glutamyl transferase is an enzyme found in the human body. Elevated levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase may indicate liver damage, often associated with conditions such as alcoholic hepatitis or autoimmune liver disease. Patients should visit a hospital for further evaluation to determine the exact cause and receive targeted treatment accordingly.
