Fluctuating serum aspartate aminotransferase activity in a complicated pregnancy.
A 29-year-old para 0 gravida 2 woman with a history of infertility and spontaneous abortion presented to her local hospital at 9 weeks gestation with severe nausea and vomiting. Symptoms persisted for 10 weeks, leading to the diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum and treatment with intravenous fluids (3 times/week) and Zofran. At 8 weeks gestation, laboratory tests were unremarkable with the exce...
متن کاملActivity of serum aspartate aminotransferase isoenzymes in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) isoenzymes were determined in serial serum samples from 40 cases of acute myocardial infarction, and compared with activities of creatine kinase, CK-MB isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, and alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase for temporal changes. Cytosolic (soluble) AST (s-AST) and mitochondrial AST (m-AST) respectively increased 6.6 and 9.0 h aft...
متن کاملSerum uridine levels in patients receiving N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate.
Serum uridine levels of N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate-treated patients from Phase 1 and continuing trials receiving 1000 to 2000 mg/sq m/day were measured by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. For the five patients studied, the predose serum levels ranged from 2.6 to 64. microM, well within the normal range of 1.9 to 8.9 microM. All serum uridine levels decreased in the first 2...
متن کاملCorticosteroids – Azathioprine
Fifteen years ago, classical immunosuppressive therapy was inconceivable without corticosteroids and azathioprine. A large number of transplantees administering these drugs had successful immunosuppression and good function of the graft over longer period of time. Nevertheless, side-effects of corticosteroids to cardiovascular system (hypertension, congestive heart failure, thrombophlebitis), t...
متن کاملUnexplained High Activity of Aspartate Aminotransferase in an Asymptomatic Pediatric Patient
Elevated enzyme activities in plasma may at times be attributed to the presence of macro-enzymes. The macro-enzymes are often serum enzymes in complex with immunoglobulins, resulting in a greater molecular mass that cannot be filtered by renal glomeruli and are, hence, retained in the plasma. The aspartate aminotransferase (AST) can exist as a macro-enzyme, although it has been rarely reported....
