Understanding Elevated Gamma GT, ALT, Leukocytes & Group B Strep: What Do These Results Mean?
Gamma GT 64: Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found in the liver and other organs. Elevated levels of GGT can indicate liver damage or disease, such as alcoholic liver disease or hepatitis. Your GGT level is moderately elevated, but it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment.
ALT 56: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme found in the liver. Elevated levels of ALT can indicate liver damage or disease, such as alcoholic liver disease or hepatitis. Your ALT level is moderately elevated, but it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment.
AST 6: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in the liver, heart, and other organs. Elevated levels of AST can indicate liver damage or disease, such as alcoholic liver disease or hepatitis, or heart damage, such as a heart attack. Your AST level is within the normal range, which is good.
Leukocytes: Leukocytes are white blood cells. Elevated levels of leukocytes can indicate an infection or inflammation in the body. Your leukocyte count is not provided, so I cannot comment on its significance.
Group B strep: Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a type of bacteria that can cause infections in pregnant women and newborns. It is important for pregnant women to be tested for GBS during pregnancy so that they can receive antibiotics if necessary to prevent infection in the newborn. Your GBS status is not provided, so I cannot comment on its significance.
It is important to see a doctor to discuss these test results and get appropriate medical advice. The doctor can order additional tests and provide treatment as needed.
