Gamma blood tests

[allofatremor]

Hi can anyone tell me what a result of 13 is for Gamma blood tests? The practice nurse said it was very good, but I read also that low is not good, just thought I would ask to see if anyone had knowledge of this blood tests and what it implies, thanks in advance for any info 🌝

Hi,

'Lab Tests Online_UK '

Is a good smartphone app for info on all sorts of tests. I think the test you are looking for may be 'Gamma GT' or 'GGT'.

Hope that helps. Best of wishes.

Thanks Mike, I have looked on there but I couldn't work it out. It gives ranges from 1 - 59 as normal, but goes on to say high raised say 100+ is not good, but also very low is not good either, so I was left not knowing if 13 is classed as very low? It does explain lots but not clear enough for me (thicko) 🌝

My lab has a normal range of 4-50 iu/L. Your level of 13 sounds perfect. Did you have it tested in isolation or did you have other tests done at the same time? If lab tests online say very low is not good presume they mean less than 4!!!

google will tell your dying no matter what you type in. its true that a failing Liver will lose the ability to produce enzymes and may give a low reading, but at that point you would be yellow, looking 9 months pregnant and there would be many things sticking out in your blood. Lower is better for GGT, it also goes higher with age anyway. I wouldnt like mine heading towards the upper limit, but at 13 your perfect, mine was 23 when I was drinking, now its 16 on last check.

is there any reason for you getting the test?
