Glutathione/glutamic acid, usually referred to as the ratio of glutathione to glutathione aminotransferase, is an important and sensitive indicator of the degree of liver cell damage in liver function tests. Glutathione/Glutamic Acid 1.6 is mildly elevated, mostly related to poor dietary habits, but may also be due to pathological causes. The normal range of glutathione/glutathione ratio is 0.8-1.5. Glutathione/glutathione 1.6 is slightly higher than the normal value, usually related to factors such as drinking alcohol and eating too much greasy food the day before the test. After a period of time, the ratio can return to the normal range on its own, and retesting can be done according to the doctor’s prescription. The presence of glutathione/glutathione 1.6 after retesting may indicate mild liver damage. In patients with chronic viral hepatitis, drug-related liver injury, fatty liver and other non-viral liver diseases, transaminases may be mildly to moderately elevated and may indicate a glutathione/glutamic acid ratio of 1.6. In patients with alcoholic liver disease, glutathione transaminase may sometimes be significantly elevated, while glutathione transaminase may be near normal and may show a mildly elevated ratio of 1.6. A mildly elevated glutathione/glutamic acid 1.6 above the normal range indicates that the liver may be in a period of chronicized damage. Patients at high risk of liver disease such as alcohol consumption, obesity, and fatty liver should have their liver function tested regularly and the glutathione/glutamic acid ratio monitored to detect the degree of liver function impairment in a timely manner and to prevent disease progression by timely and reasonable therapeutic intervention.
