What is the GTT a test for?

Heart function
Liver function
Sugar metabolism
Kidney function

The correct answer is: Sugar metabolism

The GTT (glucose tolerance test) is primarily used to test for sugar metabolism and how well the body is able to process glucose. This test involves measuring blood sugar levels after drinking a glucose solution and comparing them to normal levels. Option A, heart function, is incorrect because the GTT does not directly test the heart. Option B, liver function, is incorrect because the GTT focuses on glucose metabolism and not liver function specifically. Option D, kidney function, is incorrect because while the GTT can give information about kidney function, it is not the primary purpose of the test.
