What is glutamyltranspeptidase

summary

Glutamyl transpeptidase is widely distributed in human tissues, it can reflect the physical condition of people, but people do not know much about glutamyl transpeptidase. The following will introduce the related knowledge of glutamyl transpeptidase in detail.

What is glutamyltranspeptidase

First, glutamyltranspeptidase is widely distributed in human tissues, most in the kidney, followed by the pancreas and liver, and most in the liver during embryonic stage, mainly in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes and intrahepatic bile duct epithelium.

Second: Generally speaking, the serum glutamyltranspeptidase in normal people mainly comes from the liver, and the normal value is 3-50u / L, as long as it is within this range.

Third, there are also abnormal conditions of glutamyl transpeptidase. Glutamyl transpeptidase is only mildly or moderately elevated in acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis and decompensated cirrhosis. However, when obstructive jaundice occurs, the enzyme flows back into the blood due to excretion disorder. When primary liver cancer occurs, the enzyme is over synthesized in the liver, which can cause a significant increase of blood transpeptidase, even more than 10 times of the normal level.

matters needing attention

The normal value of glutamyltranspeptidase is between three and five hundred. If the enzyme value is too high or too low, it must be checked in time and treated.
