Association Between Serum Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase and Albuminuria As Markers Of Endothelial Dysfunction Among General Outpatients at Ruhoko Health Centre IV, Southwestern Uganda

2025-11-07

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Background Endothelial dysfunction is an early marker of cardiovascular and renal disease, emphasizing the need for accessible biomarkers for early detection. Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and albuminuria have both been proposed as indicators of endothelial damage. Unlike albuminuria, which can be influenced by urine concentration and collection methods, GGT is routinely meas...
