COMPARISON OF SERUM YST/ASAT, ALAT AND ALP LEVELS IN HEPATIC DISEASES

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine a simple and sensitive test for clinical diagnosis of various hepatic diseases. Therefore y-glutamyltranspeptidase (Y** GT), aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), alanine aminotr¬ansferase (ALAT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were measured in 29 healthy adults and 88 sera with various liver diseases. Table I represents the results, according to which y-GT activity increases in all of studied patients, especially in alcoholic liver disease and hepatobiliary dysfunction (13, 5, 3,10, 4)."nThe data suggest that in liver disease it is better to estimate y-GT level in serum prior to other related enzymes.
