A Clinical Study on Relationship Between Elevated Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase (Ggt) Levels and Cerebrovascular Stroke.

Background: In this study we aimed to examine the association between Elevated Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase GGT levels and Cerebrovascular stroke. This study was conducted at ESIC Medical College, Sanathnagar, Hyderabad fr Materials and Methods: om December 2023- May 2024. The study population included 50 patients admitted in our Hospital with stroke history of 24-72 hrs. The clinical and Result: laboratory prole of 50 patients were evaluated. GGT is more strongly associated with ischemic stroke patients with a (P value: 0.0418 - Signicant). Risk factor of Hypertension in stroke showed signicantly elevated GGT levels. Elevate Conclusion: d Serum GGT levels is an independent risk factor for stroke, even in the presence of other risk factors such as Diabetes, HTN, Dyslipidemia, and Age. It is a Novel Biomarker for predicting Stroke.
