N2  - Serum-gammaglutamyl-transferase (gamma-GT, GT, GGT, GGTP) is an enzyme which has been much used in the field of alcoholism during the last decades. Although first introduced as a liver test it had been tested as a market for alcoholism and for heavy drinking, as a screening instrument and as a tool during long-term follow-up of drinkers. It has also been investigated in general populations and correlated with other risk factors besides alcohol consumption, and been described as a predictor of ill health in its own right. GT has been extensively used and compared with other markers of alcohol consumption. It is a cheap and easily used instrument. It can also be studied in the area of traffic safety in the drinking and driving populations and in the rehabilitation of drunken drivers.<p />
