Alanine Aminotransferase Levels in Blood Donors

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1987
Excerpt To the editor: Friedman and coworkers (1) have addressed an issue of concern to blood bankers regarding the approach to the blood donor with isolated or intermittent elevations of alanine a...

Alanine Aminotransferase and Posttransfusion Hepatitis

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1987
To the Editor.— The American Red Cross is initiating the screening of donor blood for high alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels to reduce the incidence of posttransfusion hepatitis. Non-A, non-B hepatitis, probably caused by several viruses, is the major cause of posttransfusion hepatitis. Thirty percent of patients with posttransfusion hepatitis are

Studies on alanine aminotransferase in nematodes

International Journal for Parasitology, 1991
L-alanine aminotransferase was demonstrated in a range of gastrointestinal, free-living and entomophagous nematodes. As in mammals, nematode L-alanine aminotransferase was found to exist in the form of mitochondrial and cytosolic isoenzymes. Whilst the majority of nematode enzymes exhibited a greater overall capacity for L-alanine synthesis than for L ...

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
