Abstract: | Objectives To explore the relationship between the increase of Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and dyslipidemia in checkup population. Methods 3137 subjects were selected from April 2020 to August 2021. The baseline data, GGT, and four serum lipid indexes of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) were collected. First of all, according to the quartile of GGT concentration, the levels of the four indexes of blood lipids were compared; secondly, the correlation between the concentration of GGT and the four indexes of blood lipids was analyzed; again, the differences of GGT levels among different groups of dyslipidemia were compared; finally, the risk factors affecting the increase of GGT were screened out by binary Logistic regression analysis. Results With the increase of GGT concentration, the abnormal rate and abnormal level of TC, TG and LDL increased significantly, and the abnormal rate of HDL increased and the abnormal level decreased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05); Spearman correlation analysis showed that GGT was positively correlated with TC, TG and LDL (r = 0.200, 0.395, 0.186, all P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with HDL (r = -0.144, P < 0.05); The concentration of GGT increased with the increase of abnormal indexes in the four indexes (all P < 0.05); The multivariate analysis of binary Logistic regression showed that TG was an independent risk factor for the increase of GGT concentration, regardless of the median or reference value of GGT positive, and the OR values were 2.360 (95%CI: 2.068~2.695) and 1.635 (95%CI: 1.481~1.805), respectively. Conclusions The increase of GGT can be caused by the disorder of blood lipid metabolism, and the degree of increase is closely related to the severity of dyslipidemia. Persistent elevated GGT associated with dyslipidemia may be helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemia-related diseases. |
