What is 66T for?

I had bloodwork done yesterday to confirm polycystic ovarian syndrome (:banghead: infertility) and this was one of the things ordered.

I've never heard of it, and can't find any info online for it.

Thanks!

I wonder if it's not supposed to be GGT, a liver enzyme. Best to call the office and ask to be sure.

hey-

yeah i wouldnt know what 66t stands for i would call in and ask for the meaning. i wonder if it has anything to do with your hormones because it is for polycystic ovarian syndrome like fsh,lh,progesterone,or something i dont know just thinking out loud- but yeah once you find out i would be curious to know!

sorry that i am not that much help

and i wish you the best with everything!

I feel dumb- it totally looked like 6's and not G's. It very well could have been GGT instead. There were so many tests I can't remember them all.

Insulin, testosterone, cholesterol's, thyroid....

Hi,

As a medical laboratory scientist (MT(ASCP) and now also a nursing student, I would say that the other posts are right. The test may have looked like 66T, but was probably GGT, which as you know is an enzyme level usually used to check liver function.

Hope this helps.
