Abstract
- The article discusses a study from Humanitas University revealing a significant prevalence of porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) among patients with persistent, unexplained elevations of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT). Topics discussed include the association of PSVD with male sex, low liver stiffness measurements, and lower GGT levels, emphasizing the importance of liver biopsies in diagnosing underlying conditions linked to abnormal liver enzyme levels.
