Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels reflect skeletal muscle volume and general performance, which are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development and prognosis. This study aimed to investigate ALT levels as a risk factor for COPD development. This 13-year population-based ...
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to ALT ratio (AST/ALT ratio) have been shown to be related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or insulin resistance, which was associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, it is unclear whether ALT and AST/ALT rati...
Low alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values, representing low muscle mass (sarcopenia), may be associated with increased frailty and subsequently shortened survival in cancer patients. In the current study, we aimed to assess the potential relationship between low ALT and shorter survival in bladder ...
AST vs. ALT One test your doctor might do along with the AST test is the alanine transferase (ALT) test. ALT is also a type of enzyme, but unlike AST, it is found mostly in your liver. Your doctor might want to measure both of these because they can leak into your bloodstream when...
2HPP indicates 2-hour postprandial glucose; ALT, alanine aminotransferase (to convert to μkat/L, multiply by 0.0167); AST, aspartate aminotransferase (to convert to μkat/L, multiply by 0.0167); BMI, body mass index; FPG; fasting plasma glucose; FPI, fasting plasma insulin; GRADE, Grading...
ALT: alanine aminotransferase; HCV, hepatitis C virus; LC, liver cirrhosis; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; CHC, chronic hepatitis C; SVR, sustained virological response; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; PegIFN/RBV, pegylated interferon plus ribavirin; DAAs, direct-acting antivirals; KHF, Korea Hem...
The blood tests most frequently used forliver diseaseare the aminotransferases (alanine aminotransferase or ALT and aspartate aminotransferase or AST). People with mild to moderate elevations of AST and ALT may have no symptoms or mild systemic symptoms. These may include ...
To assess the effect of prolonged administration of midazolam or isoflurane on hepatocellular integrity, we measured the concentrations of glutathione transferase (EC 2.5.1.18) B1 subunit and the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT; EC 2.6.1.2) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST; EC 2.6.1.1)...
