Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) reference ranges estimated from blood donors.
It has been suggested that an increase in serum alanine transaminase (ALT) activity in blood donors may identify infection with non-A, non-B hepatitis. To facilitate identification of such donors, the reference range for ALT was measured on a Technicon SMAC 1 Analyser, using serum from 364 blood donors and 567 plasmapheresis donors. The distribution of ALT activities displayed a positive skewne...
متن کاملhealthy ranges of serum alanine aminotransferase levels in iranian blood donors
aim: the healthy ranges for serum alanine aminotransferase (alt) levels are less well studied. the aim of this study was to define the upper limit of normal (uln) for serum alt levels, and to assess factors associated with serum alt activity in apparently healthy blood donors. methods: a total of 1939 blood donors were included. alt measurements were performed for all cases using the same labor...
متن کاملSerum alanine aminotransferase ( ALT ) and y - glutamyltransferase ( y - GT ) activities in north London blood donors
Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and y-glutamyltransferase (y-GT) activities were measured in over 2000 north London blood donors. The results were compared with those from the United States. The percentage of the total donor population with ALT activities above 40 IU/l in 1986 was greater than that found in our earlier studies in 1973 and 1982 (4-6% compared with 2-8% and 3 1%, respectivel...

متن کاملtt virus infection among iranian blood donors: its prevalence and relationship to serum alanine aminotransferase (alt) level
introduction and aims: tt virus (ttv) is a dna virus and is proposed as a potential cause of non-a to e hepatitis. we aimed to investigate, for the first time, the prevalence of ttv in iranian healthy blood donors. materials and methods: three hundred and twelve healthy iranian blood donors were randomly selected and tested for ttv dna by the seminested polymerase chain reaction method. serum a...
