Estimation of reference values for liver function parametersin neonates individuals from missan district, S. Iraq

Abstract EN

This paper offers an insight to generalists on how to extract greater information from these tests in order to improve the investigation and management of liver disease..

The activities of (total serum bilirubin (T.S.B) ,aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase(ALP), total proteins (TP) and albumin (ALB),.

AST, ALT and bilirubin ,total protein were measured in 150 neonates (85 males and 65 females) from at Al-Sadder Teaching Hospital environs with collaborative arrangement of clinical biochemistry lab.in medicine college ,Missan University with age rangedbetween (1-4 days) were included in this study.

The serum activities of the liver enzymes (AST, ALT and ALP) were found to be elevated (p≤0.001) with respect to subjects on WHO.

At the same time, T.S.B was abnormally elevated (p ≤0.001) in the serum of neonates test, While theT.Premainedconstantwithout anychanging .
