The association of low serum alanine aminotransferase activity with mortality in the US population.
Elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, an important marker of liver injury, has been associated inconsistently with higher mortality. We evaluated whether persons with nonelevated ALT levels are the most appropriate comparison group by examining the relationships of low ALT with mortality and body composition in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In NHA...
متن کاملSerum alanine aminotransferase in skeletal muscle diseases.
Although elevation of the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) following liver injury is well known, confusion exists concerning skeletal muscle injury as the cause of this rise. We reviewed the records of 16 patients who had muscle necrosis without evidence of liver disease. The patients were divided into three groups: extreme exercise, polymyositis, and seizures. All patients exhibi...
متن کاملSerum alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase ratio is one of the best markers of insulin resistance in the Chinese population
BACKGROUND The alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ratio is reportedly associated with insulin resistance (IR). However, few studies have explored the relationship between the ALT/AST ratio and IR in the Chinese population. Here, we aimed to explore whether the ALT/AST ratio is associated and, if so, to what extent, with IR in the Chinese population as categorized by...
متن کاملElevated serum alanine aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyltransferase and mortality in the United States population.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activities are markers of liver injury, but may also be associated with other diseases and death. In a prospective, national, population-based sample, we examined whether elevated ALT and GGT were associated with increased risk of all-cause and disease-specific mortality. METHODS Death certific...
متن کاملAssociation between Serum Uric Acid and Elevated Alanine Aminotransferase in the General Population
BACKGROUND Both the serum uric acid (SUA) level and elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are related to metabolic syndrome. However, the association between SUA and elevated ALT has not been elucidated in the general population. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between SUA and elevated ALT in the general population of China; METHODS A total of 11,572 adults (≥...
