Reference intervals for serum bilirubin, urea, and uric acid in healthy Chinese geriatric population

Reference Ranges for Serum Uric Acid among Healthy Assamese People

This study was designed to establish reference ranges for serum uric acid among healthy adult Assamese population. Samples from 1470 aged 35-86 years were used to establish age and sex related reference range by the centile method (central 95 percentile) for serum uric acid level. There were 51% (n = 754) males and 49% (n = 716) females; 75.9% (n = 1115) of them were from urban area and the res...

Fasting and gender (and altitude?) influence reference intervals for serum bilirubin in healthy adults.

Reference Intervals of Total Bilirubin, ALT, AST, and Creatinine in Healthy Elderly Chinese

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to establish the reference intervals (RIs) of total bilirubin (TBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and creatinine (CREA) for apparently healthy elderly (Han ethnicity) in Shuyang, China. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 54 912 blood specimens from elderly residents age 65-104 years were collected by standard procedures in Sh...

Serum calcium, urea and uric acid levels in pre-eclampsia.

Serum calcium, urea and uric acid levels were determined in 100 normal pregnant women and 50 patients with pre-eclampsia. Serum calcium levels were significantly lower and urea and uric acid levels higher in pre-eclampsia. Low levels of calcium were found as early as 28 weeks and can therefore be used for early diagnosis of pre-eclampsia.

Evaluation of Serum Uric Acid and Glutathione Levels in Diabetic Patients and Healthy Subjects

Objective: It is well known that diabetes is one of the main health challenges. According to the evidence presented in recent years by investigators, serum uric acid has emerged as a possible risk factor for diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study was to compare the mean serum uric acid and the antioxidant activity of glutathione levels in patients with diabetes and the control group. ...
