The relationship between GGT and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total serum bilirubin, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was analyzed using <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Spearman<\/jats:italic> correlation.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>The highest level of GGT was up to 1000.00 to 2000.00\u200aU\/L in PBC and DILI, and the highest level of GGT was more than 2000.00\u200aU\/L in ALD, yet the difference was not statistically significant (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a&gt;\u200a.05). The highest level of GGT was only about 200.00\u200aU\/L in NAFLD and was the lowest in 4 liver diseases. Also, GGT was positively correlated with ALP, TC in PBC and DILI. Also, in ALD, GGT was positively correlated with ALT, AST, ALP, TG, and TC. In NAFLD, GGT was positively correlated with ALT, AST, and TG.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>The abnormal GGT in PBC and cholestasis DILI was associated with cholestasis; in ALD, it was associated with oxidative stress and cholestasis, and in NAFLD, it was associated with oxidative stress.
