Y-glutamyl transpeptidase is an enzyme widely distributed in human tissues, mainly in the liver, kidneys and other organs. If the test results show that y-glutamyl transpeptidase is low, it is mostly due to liver cancer, obstructive jaundice, hepatitis, cirrhosis and other diseases, so the patient still needs further examination to identify the cause of the disease before targeted treatment.
If the patient’s liver is abnormally rich in blood flow, it may be a sign of liver cancer; if the patient has reduced hepatocyte performance, an enlarged liver with some itching of the skin, it is mostly due to obstructive jaundice; if the patient’s liver is abnormally active in replicating viruses and is infectious, it is basically hepatitis; all these diseases cause the body’s y-glutamyl transpeptidase to decrease. The patient’s liver is also infectious, and these diseases can lower the body’s y-glutamyl transpeptidase.
Patients should pay more attention to their diet during this period and not eat foods that are too spicy and stimulating or protein-rich, which can increase the stress on the liver and worsen the disease; they should eat more vitamin-rich, highly nutritious, and light-tasting foods.
