Liver
GGT on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and how it sits with related markers.
What it is
GGT is the liver enzyme that does not live in muscle. That makes it the tie-breaker: a high ALT with a normal GGT points at training, a high ALT with a rising GGT at the liver.
The range
How to read the lab range
Labs quote up to about 50 to 70 U/L. Alcohol raises it before anything else does.
Why it moves on a protocol
- Alcohol, fatty liver, some medications.
- Bile duct problems raise it with ALP.

Questions people ask
Why does GGT matter if ALT is already checked?
ALT leaks from muscle. GGT does not, so it helps tell whether a high ALT is training or the liver.
