Is gamma-glutamyltransferase 120 U/L serious?

Gamma-glutamyltransferase 120U/L is greater than normal value, which may be caused by physiological factors such as alcohol consumption, etc. Pathological factors such as viral hepatitis and fatty liver can also cause elevation.
1. Alcohol consumption: for people who have been drinking alcohol for a long time, alcohol may cause damage to liver cells, resulting in the elevation of γ-glutamyltransferase, in this case, as long as the improvement of lifestyle habits such as alcohol cessation and other measures can be restored to normal, and do not need special treatment.
2. Viral hepatitis: in viral hepatitis, the virus will destroy liver cells, and the enzyme synthesis of liver cells near the necrotic area will increase, leading to the elevation of the index.
3. Fatty liver: Fatty liver can also cause inflammation and necrosis of the liver, resulting in elevated indexes.
The normal value of γ-glutamyltransferase is 10-60U/L for men and 7-45U/L for women, and the elevation caused by physiological factors can be improved by improving life habits. Pathological factors caused by elevated should be timely to the hospital, improve the relevant examination to clarify the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor symptomatic treatment.
