    Abstract

    Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Global Burden of disease is increasing and it would be the fourth leading cause of death in 2030. Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) has been regarded as a novel marker of oxidative stress. So, this study was done to assess whether the serum level of GGT might be used as a marker in monitoring level of oxidative stress in clinically stable COPD.
