Upper Limits of Normal for Serum Alanine Aminotransferase Levels in Chinese Han Population
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity is the most common tool for the assessment of liver diseases. However, it is not clear whether the current normal ALT range really discriminate patients with or without liver diseases. The present study was to establish a new normal range of ALT and examine its ability to identify patients with hepatitis B or nonalcoholic f...
متن کاملRe-evaluation of serum alanine aminotransferase upper normal limit and its modulating factors in a large-scale population study.
BACKGROUND The upper normal limit (ULN) of serum alanine-aminotrasferase (ALT) normal range was recently challenged, because patients diagnosed with liver diseases may have 'normal' or near-'normal' ALT levels, and because possible modulators are often ignored in determining normal range. AIM To estimate the ULN for serum ALT and to identify factors modulating it. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We re...
متن کاملUpper limit of normal for alanine aminotransferase: quo vadis?
Several studies suggest that a substantial number of patients with normal serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, defined by current thresholds, have ongoing hepatic necro-inflammation and fibrosis, and are at risk of liver disease progression. A major problem lies in the definition of normality. The current upper limit of normal (ULN) for ALT was established in the 1980s when reference po...
متن کاملEvaluation of Normal Exophthalmometric Values in Iranian Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Normal level of eye protrusion is different in various populations and many factors such as age, sex, race, refractive error, and anthropometric characteristics affect it. There are limited studies in Iran about the normal amount of eye protrusion in healthy population and normal exophthalmometric values. In this meta-analysis, taking into account the results of the 4 studies, we decided to obt...
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...
