Glutamyl transpeptidase is greater than normal at 98 U/L, suggesting abnormal liver function, which may be caused by alcohol consumption, prolonged receipt of certain medications such as phenobarbital, phenytoin sodium, and antipyrine, as well as pathologic factors such as extrahepatic bile duct obstruction and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Glutamyl transpeptidase is widely found in human tissues, but the serum glutamyl transpeptidase mainly comes from the liver, and the normal values are 11-50U/L for men and 7-32U/L for women. 98U/L is greater than normal, suggesting that the index is high.
Alcoholism or long-term use of certain medications such as phenobarbital, phenytoin sodium, and antipyrine may affect glutamyl transpeptidase, resulting in high test values. In addition, liver diseases such as extra-hepatic bile duct obstruction and primary liver cancer may also lead to elevated glutamyl transpeptidase.
If the test value of glutamyl transpeptidase is high, you should go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examination and clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of the doctor.
