Blood alanine aminotransferase levels >1,000 IU/l - causes and outcomes.
Standard medical education dictates that the vast majority of cases of an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level >1,000 IU/l will be due to acute ischaemia, acute drug-induced liver injury (DILI) (usually paracetamol) or acute viral hepatitis. There are very few references in the literature to other potential causes of an ALT >1,000 IU/l nor to the prognosis ascribed to each aetiology. In this st...
متن کاملAlanine Aminotransferase
An examination of the subcellular distribution of alanine aminotransferase activity in pig cardiac tissue showed that about 10% of the total activity was bound to particulate material, with the highest specific activity in the sarcosomal fraction. The soluble enzyme was obtained in a high state of purity, as indicated by sedimentation velocity, starch gel electrophoresis, and spectral analyses....
متن کاملSerum Uric Acid, Alanine Aminotransferase, Hemoglobin and Red Blood Cell Count Levels in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome
Purpose. The pathogenesis of pseudoexfoliation (PEX), the most common cause of secondary glaucoma, has not been clearly identified, but there is increasing evidence that points out the role of oxidative stress. The aim of this study is to evaluate some of the most commonly used blood parameters, hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell count (RBC), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and uric acid (UA) leve...
متن کاملhealthy ranges of serum alanine aminotransferase levels in iranian blood donors
aim: the healthy ranges for serum alanine aminotransferase (alt) levels are less well studied. the aim of this study was to define the upper limit of normal (uln) for serum alt levels, and to assess factors associated with serum alt activity in apparently healthy blood donors. methods: a total of 1939 blood donors were included. alt measurements were performed for all cases using the same labor...
متن کاملStudy of serum alanine-aminotransferase levels in blood donors in Spain.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Serum alanine-aminotransferase (ALT) is being used as a surrogate test for preventing post-transfusion viral hepatitis. However, ALT elevation is influenced by many factors. We have studied ALT levels in 1,036 consecutive blood donors to determine their association with gender, obesity, and hepatitis virus infection markers. DESIGN AND METHODS In each donation asparta...
