Enzyme assays in liver disease.

Enzyme assays in liver disease.

It is in the field of hepatology that enzyme assays are performed most frequently for diagnostic purposes. Their interpretation requires knowledge of many factors that influence the serum level of the particular enzymes assayed. Therefore, these factors are discussed briefly in relation to liver disease before considering important developments such as the value of estimating D-glutamyltransfer...

Multiple plasma enzyme activities in liver disease.

The measurement of the plasma activities of glutamic-oxaloacetic and glutamic-pyruvic transaminases, aldolase, cholinesterase, and isocitric, lactic, and phosphogluconic dehydrogenases in random samples of blood was found to be of no value in the differential diagnosis of hepatitis, obstructive jaundice, hepatic cirrhosis, and neoplastic conditions involving the liver. Serial determinations of ...

Comparing Effects of Medication Therapy and Exercise Training with Diet on Liver enzyme Levels and Liver Sonography in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Background & Objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, characterized by the deposition of fat in liver cells, can cause fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cell damage if not controlled. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of medication therapy and exercise training with diet on liver enzyme levels and liver sonography in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
