Serum Transaminase Changes in Severe Burns

[Pathological changes in lungs in severe burns (author's transl)].

Serum transaminase variations in childhood.

The study of serum transaminases has recently entered clinical practice. In December, 1954, Wroblewsky and La Due demonstrated an increase of glutamic-oxalacetic (GOT) transaminase in the serum of patients suffering from various liver diseases and in carbon tetrachloride intoxication. In 1955, de Ritis, Coltorti and Giusti demonstrated an increase of both aspartic-ketoglutaric (GOT) and alanine...

Biochemical Changes in Burns

Background: Burns are the second leading cause of death resulting from childhood injuries. It is estimated that there are approximately 3,000 pediatric deaths annually due to burns and probably three times as many disabling injuries. Liver is one of the major organs affected by thermal injury. Objective of the study was to measure liver enzymes and serum electrolytes. Results: In the present st...

Serum transaminase activity in lepromatous leprosy.

The semm transaminases COT (glutamate-oxalacetate-transaminase) and CPT ( glutamate-pyruvate-transaminase ), which have a determining share in intermediate metabolism, are present in the body ubiquitously and in an especially high concentration in heart muscle, liver or other parenchymatous organs and in skeletal muscle. The same is true for the serum dehydrogenase LDH (lactate-dehydrogenase) '...

Serum Transaminase Activity in Status Asthmaticus.

anterior position. The more experienced practitioner may wish to extend the range of his intervention, but this should be limited to institutional conditions. There are many general practitioners in this country, including several of our former house-surgeons, who are using the instrument successfully. Further extension of this trend would help to reduce the dangers of forceps in unpractised ha...
