Aim: We aim to evaluate fetal cardiac output in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP).
 
 Material and Method: Thirty-two patients with ICP 42 healthy pregnant women were included the study. The diagnosis was made by detecting fasting bile acid value >10 µmol/L symptomatic women. Fetal echocardiographic evaluations performed >34 weeks gestation. Demographic data, output, p...

Objective. Objective. Previous studies showed that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) was associated with liver diseases such as elevated liver enzyme levels and hepatic steatosis. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and OSAS and its severity. Methods. A total of 617 patients who under...

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...

A 63-year-old woman is admitted to the hospital with acute pancreatitis of presumed biliary origin. Laboratory results include white blood cell count (WBC) 18,500; hemoglobin 13.0; platelets 191,000; alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 330; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 260; alkaline phosphatase 250; bilirubin 1.4; glucose 225; blood urea nitrogen (BUN) 47; creatinine 1.4; and prothrombin time 12...

A 4-year-old Hispanic boy was referred to our facility because of elevated levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), which were detected during an evaluation of transient abdominal pain while the boy was in Puerto Rico. He was otherwise in perfect health; a review of systems was negative. His past medical history and birth history were noncontributory. Immunizations...

Order liver function tests before starting statin therapy, 12 weeks after initiation, with any dose increase, and periodically for long-term maintenance therapy. Mild elevations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (<3 times the upper limit of normal [ULN]) following statin therapy do not appear to lead to significant liver toxicity over time. Other medications ...

Today, human effects due to industrial development and population increase caused water ecosystems be polluted by various pollutant such as heavy metals. Serum biochemical parameters are widely used in blood analysis these suitable indicators for monitoring physiological changes fish. Hence, the aim of present study waterborne copper on serum glucose, total protein, albumin triglyceride levels ...
