Abstract




ÖZET




GGT (gama
glutamil transpeptidaz) özellikle karaciğer hastalıklarının teşhis ve
tedavisinde kullanılan, karaciğer fonksiyonları hakkında bilgi veren bir biyokimyasal
testtir. Alkolik karaciğer bozukluklarında ilk önce yükselen duyarlı ve
spesifik testtir. GTT farklı durumlarda yüksek değerlerde
çıkabilmektedir.  72 yaşında bir bayan hastada izole GGT yüksekliği
nedeniyle yapılan tetkiklerde pankreas adenokarsinomuna rastlanılmıştır. İzole
GGT yüksekliği tespit edilen hastalar ciddiyetle takip edilmeli teşhisleri
mutlaka konulmalıdır.
