Hi,
With the question “Is it okay if Gamma GT 165.00 is high? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The reference range of the tests you have questions about is as follows:
GGT: Male < 60 U/L, Female < 40 U/L. Triglycerides Normal: < 1.7 High: 1.7 – 2.25 High: 2.26 – 5.64 Very High: ≥ 5.65 Blood lipids (blood fats) are important components of the human body, including the main components are Cholesterol, Triglycerides and phospholipids. Among them, the most important component is cholesterol. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn't need to use right away into Triglycerides and gets stored in your fat cells. People with high blood triglycerides are often accompanied by elevated total cholesterol (both bad and good) (combined dyslipidemia) or a small number of people will have isolated hypertriglyceridemia.
GGT is used in the diagnosis and monitoring of hepatobiliary disease. GGT enzyme activity is often the only parameter elevated when tested in these diseases, and is one of the most sensitive indicators known. It is also a sensitive screening test that detects concealed alcoholism. Serum GGT activity is also elevated in patients on long-term treatment with phenobarbital and phenytoin.
So compared to the normal human test reference range, your GGT enzyme activity as well as your Triglycerid concentration are at a high level.
For people with high blood fat levels, it is possible to regulate blood fat levels with diets (low in carbohydrates, eat high in fiber, limit alcohol use, avoid using a lot of animal fats, change in that use cooking oil made from olives, nuts, avocados, actively eat oily fish such as salmon, herring, sardines, tuna ... Besides the diet, it is also necessary to pay attention Consider losing weight if you are overweight or obese, maintain a healthy weight and exercise at an appropriate level. The best results can only be obtained with a combination of the factors mentioned above. GGT, in addition to adjusting the diet, finding the cause of the increase in GGT is also an important factor in the treatment to bring GGT levels to normal. To be effective, you may have to use the intervention of drugs, at this time you should go to the Internal Medicine specialist so that the specialists can do a clinical examination, have appropriate additional tests and give only diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment.
If you still have questions about the increased Gamma GT 165.00 index, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
