Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Clinical Chemistry
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Cholestasis diagnosis relies on specific enzyme markers.
  • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and 5' nucleotidase are key enzymes.
  • Understanding these enzymes is crucial for liver disease evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on ALP, GGT, and 5' nucleotidase.
  • To discuss their function, activity measurement, and biologic variables.
  • To explore their clinical significance and diagnostic utility in cholestasis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scientific articles and clinical studies.
  • Synthesis of information on enzyme function and measurement.
  • Analysis of enzyme patterns in healthy and diseased states.
