Because transient elevations of serum transaminase levels have been observed during the course of succimer therapy, serum transaminases should be monitored prior to the initiation of therapy and at least weekly during therapy, particularly in patients with a history of liver disease. ❋ Unknown (2010)
AST (aspartate transaminase)/SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) - measures the amount of this enzyme, which the liver (along with other organs) produces and stores. ❋ Unknown (2005)
Alanine transaminase ALT: Reflects liver function in conjunction with other tests. ❋ MEHMET C. OZ (2007)
ALT (alanine transaminase)/SGPT (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase) - measures the amount of this enzyme, which the liver produces and stores. ❋ Unknown (2005)
Liver function tests, or LFTs these include alanine transaminase [ALT] and aspartate transaminase [AST], prothrombin time, albumin, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase ❋ Sanjiv Chopra (2001)
Your physician will be able to tell if you have acute hepatitis if the level of liver enzymes—alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST)—are strikingly elevated in your blood. ❋ Sanjiv Chopra (2001)
Moreover, the levels of two liver enzymes called alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were markedly elevated; these enzyme levels tend to soar with various types of liver disorders, including viral infections and liver damage caused by a number of drugs. ❋ Sanjiv Chopra (2001)
With HDV infection, blood tests usually show elevated levels of the liver enzymes alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST). ❋ Sanjiv Chopra (2001)
The latter tests include the liver enzymes alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), bilirubin, and albumin. ❋ Sanjiv Chopra (2001)
Two commonly performed tests are the alanine transaminase (ALT; also called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, or SGPT) and aspartate transaminase (AST; also called serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, or SGOT). ❋ Sanjiv Chopra (2001)
Two important liver enzymes are called alanine transaminase (ALT; also called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, or SGPT) and aspartate transaminase (AST; also called serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, or SGOT). ❋ Sanjiv Chopra (2001)
Hepatic transaminase elevations are also common; alone, however, they are unrelated to hepatic toxicity and have no clinical significance. ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)
It is metabolized by the enzymes GABA transaminase and succinic semi-aldehyde dehydrogenase. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
Patients with hepatitis B or C or marked elevations in transaminases are at risk of further transaminase elevations or hepatic decompensation.
Glivec was generally well tolerated in all of the studies that were performed, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, with the exception of a transient liver toxicity in the form of transaminase elevation and hyperbilirubinemia observed when Glivec was combined with high dose chemotherapy. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Laboratory evaluations including urinalysis, alanine transaminase ❋ Barney S. Graham Et Al. (2010)
Furthermore, increased availability of BCAAs in knockout mice harboring a deletion of mitochondrial BCAA transaminase (BCATm) preserved muscle insulin sensitivity in response to long-term high-fat feeding ❋ Yasushi Noguchi Et Al. (2010)
