Next in thread: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Re: Bloodwork...need help with a few abreviations..." http://www.ighawaii.com/naturally/newsletter/lab.html Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) - An enzyme that becomes elevated with liver disease. http://www.amarillomed.com/howto.htm Enzymes AST, ALT, SGOT, SGPT, and GGT and Alkaline Phosphatase are abbreviations for proteins called enzymes which help all the chemical activities within cells to take place. Injury to cells release these enzymes into the blood. They are found in muscles, the liver and heart. Damage from alcohol and a number of diseases are reflected in high values. GGT is also elevated in liver disease, particularly with obstruction of bile ducts. Unlike the alkaline phosphatase it is not elevated with bone growth or damage. AST/SGOT , ALT/ SGPT are also liver and muscle enzymes. They may be elevated from liver problems, hepatitis, excess alcohol ingestion, muscle injury and recent heart attack. -- Victoria > From: snowchik@aol.com (Randi) > What is GGT, AST, and ALT?
