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...

Specific biochemical and physiological tests of liver function were used to assess 20 consecutive patients undergoing prolonged head and neck surgery with halothane or isoflurane anaesthesia. Hepatic function was assessed by measurement of serum concentrations of total bilirubin and albumin, and plasma activity of pseudocholinesterase, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), aspartate transaminase (A...

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing novel (COVID-19) outbreak has an impact on the liver enzymes. The study aimed to determine serum markers and enzymes their association in COVID-19 patients admitted hospital. Methods: It was a retrospective, observational conducted at Gastroenterology Department of Lahore General Hospital, from April 2020-July 2020...

Exposure to ionizing radiation results in oxidative damage, organ dysfunction and metabolic disturbances. The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of coffee, green tea, or coffee + green tea consumption on radiationinduced damage in liver and heart tissues of rats. Rats received/day, by gavages, the water extract of 0.3g green tea and/or 0.2g coffee, for a period of 7 days. ...

Introduction: COVID-19 affects the liver, causing alteration in liver biochemistry tests such as aspartate transferase (AST), alanine (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin and albumin. Objective: To determine prevalence of functions associated factors for severity among Peruvian patients. Materials methods: A descriptive, retrospective cross-sectional study was performed 4 public h...

The effect of aqueous extract from the roots of Rumex patientia L. (Polygonaceae) (D-1), a traditional Turkish medicine used as a laxative and cholagogue, on drug-metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochrome P4502E1, NADPH cytochrome c reductase, NADH cytochrome b5 reductase and glutathione-S-transferase (GST); and serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were studi...
