Dexilant (dexlansoprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor used to treat certain stomach and esophagus issues. It is not known to directly affect gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) testing; however, any medication can potentially influence liver enzyme levels indirectly depending on individual metabolism and liver function.

Is 105 to high on a ggt test?

A GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase) level of 105 U/L is considered elevated, as normal ranges typically fall between 0 to 51 U/L, depending on the laboratory and specific reference values. Elevated GGT levels can indicate liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or excessive alcohol consumption, among other conditions. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of the results and potential follow-up testing.


Why would some person's GGT be elevated?

Elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels can indicate liver dysfunction or damage, as GGT is an enzyme involved in detoxification processes. Common causes of elevated GGT include excessive alcohol consumption, liver disease (such as hepatitis or cirrhosis), bile duct obstruction, and certain medications. Additionally, conditions like heart failure and pancreatitis can also lead to increased GGT levels. It is essential to interpret elevated GGT results in the context of other liver function tests and clinical findings.
