Xiao G, Yang J, Yan L.Comparison of diagnostic accuracy of aspartate
aminotransferase to platelet ratio index and fibrosis-4 index for detecting liver fibrosis in adult patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection: a systemic review and meta-analysis.Hepatology 2015; 61(1): 292-302.
Two such tests being serum
aminotransferases and serum ferritin.
In order to best guide clinician management on biopsies from patients with elevated
aminotransferase levels and no symptoms, it is helpful to understand the decision-making process that led to the liver biopsy.
It is well known that prolonged elevation of
aminotransferases (ATs) is often suggestive of acute and chronic hepatic diseases (1).
(ii) In the DQ class, 744 patients benefited from
aminotransferase determination.
In 2 patients with DON and a past medical history of viral hepatitis B, the level of
aminotransferases was within the normal range before and during therapy.
Effects of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome on serum
aminotransferase levels in obese patients.

The VetScan with Avian/Reptilian Profile Plus rotors reports concentrations of the following analytes: albumin, aspartate
aminotransferase, bile acids, calcium, creatine kinase, globulin, glucose, phosphorus, potassium, total protein, sodium, and uric acid.
