Serum Alanine Aminotransferase and Seronegative Hepatitis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1988
Excerpt To the editor: Previous studies (1, 2) have established a direct relation between elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in donor blood and the risk for post-transfusion hepatitis.

Stability of serum alanine aminotransferase activity

Transfusion, 1987
In this study the authors examine the effects of common storage and handling procedures on serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. Clotted blood samples from 14 subjects were centrifuged at 280 × g for 10 minutes. Serum was tested immediately for baseline ALT levels and aliquots were stored at 22, 4, −20, and −80 ° C. Additional serums were stored

Alanine Aminotransferase in Clinical Practice

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1991
Alanine aminotransferase is an enzyme produced mainly in the liver. When serum activity is measured, it provides a marker of hepatic disease. This review explores the biochemistry and laboratory analysis of alanine aminotransferase in terms of its significance in human health and disease.

[Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 1995
Alanine aminotransferase (Alt, L-alanine:2-oxoglutalate aminotransferase) is a pyridoxal enzyme which catalyses the reversible interconversion of L-alanine and 2-oxoglutalate to pyruvate and L-glutamate. The enzyme is widely distributed in various tissues from animals and even in some kind of plants.

Alanine Aminotransferase Levels: What's Normal?

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2002
In this issue, Prati and colleagues confirm and extend previously reported data demonstrating relations between alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, body mass index, and abnormal lipid or carbohy...

Alanine Aminotransferase in Clinical Practice

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1992
To the Editor. — The thoughtful review by Sherman 1 provides a useful approach to the practicing physician. He makes the recommendation that elevations of alanine aminotransferase levels less than twofold not be pursued even if they persist for 6 weeks or more. Although this appears a useful strategy in general, some forms of liver disease may benefit

Stability of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities.

The Journal of laboratory and clinical medicine, 1983
Because there are conflicting data regarding the effect of different temperatures and durations of storage on the stability of the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), a new study has been conducted to re-examine this important issue.

Screening of Donor Blood for Alanine Aminotransferase

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1985
To the Editor.— Silverstein et al 1 advocate alanine aminotransferase (ALT) screening of donor blood because it will be cost-effective over a wide range of ALT levels. What the authors obviously did not take into consideration is that many chronic carriers of non-A, non-B hepatitis are asymptomatic with occasionally elevated ALT levels.

Serum aspartate and alanine aminotransferase in filariasis

Clinica Chimica Acta, 1985
Serum aspartate aminotransferase level in filarial patients was estimated. The level was compared against the level of the same enzyme in non-filarial patients. Similarly estimated and compared was the level of serum alanine aminotransferase in the same groups of subjects.
