SUMMARY Three pa ticnts admitted because of slightly increased serum amino trans fcrases were found to have Addison's disease. A review of 16 other patients with addison 's disease who had serum aminotransferase activity (aspartate aminotrans­ferase (ASAT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) J determined prior to treatment revealed one more patient with slightly increased aminotransferase acti...

background: liver ischemic insults are important sources of liver injuries leading to production of reactive oxygen species (ros) and mediating liver cell injury. glutathione mediated mechanisms are among the most important defense mechanisms of the liver; n-acetylcysteine (nac) provides cysteine for glutathione defense mechanisms. patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at increased risk of li...

The Fibrosis-4 (FIB4) index could indicate the liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatic diseases. It was calculated using following formula: (age × aspartate aminotransferase [U/L]) / (platelet count [103/μL] √alanine [U/L]). However, clinical impact of FIB4 acute phase heart failure (AHF) has not been sufficiently investigated.

Heart tissue injury may release cardiac enzymes into the circulation and elevate serum enzyme levels (LaDue, Wroblewski, and Karmen, 1954). Many enzymes become raised, but three enzymesaspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2), and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27)-have proved of particular diagnostic value. In addition, determination of lactate dehydrogenase isoen...

The significance of anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) core immunoglobulin M (IgM) and its relationship with genotypes, alanine aminotransferase abnormality, and histological data were studied for 18 patients who had undergone orthotopic liver transplantation due to HCV-related end-stage disease. During follow-up, IgM response seemed to be associated with the recurrence of HCV infection but did not c...
