| Abstract | ||
| Jaundice refers to the yellow pigmentation of the skin or sclera by bilirubin, which is a result of elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood stream. Clinical biochemistry laboratories often measure enzymes as part of a liver function test. The present study was designed to elucidate the changes in the activities of transaminases(GPT&GOT) and ALP in jaundiced patients. Serum transaminases and ALP were estimated by procedure described by kits. The results showed that activities of transaminases GOT and GPT showed significant (p<0.01) increase in patients and it reached 34.8±3.265 U/L and 42.14±4.62 U/L respectively. ALP showed also significant (P<0.01) increase in serum of patients and it reached 130.71±9.281 U/L. Significant difference in the activities of GOT between male and female patients and this difference is very obvious in neonatal jaundice. It is concluded that there were significant changes in the activities of GOT, GPT and ALP enzymes in jaundiced patients. | ||
