Question

which of the following test when increased is a yellow flag for \alcoholism\ and indicates liver damage?
a) ggtp
b) alt
c) cpk
d) ast

Explanation:

GGTP (Gamma - Glutamyl Transferase) is an enzyme that is often elevated in cases of alcoholism and liver damage. ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) is more specific to liver cell damage in general (like in hepatitis), CPK (Creatine Phosphokinase) is related to muscle damage, and AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) can be elevated in liver damage but is not as specific a marker for alcoholism as GGTP. So when GGTP is increased, it is a yellow flag for alcoholism and indicates liver damage.

Answer:

a) GGTP
