Comparison of serum GT, 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 aminotransferase [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]. The data suggest that in liver disease it is better to estimate y-GT level in serum prior to other related enzymes
