Examination of sgpt
1.
2. AlanineAminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme
found primarily in the liver and kidney. It was
originally referred to as Serum Glutamic
PyruvicTransaminase (SGPT).
Normally, a low level of ALT exists in the
serum.
ALT is increased with liver damage and is
used to screen or monitor liver disease.
3.
4. Principle
SGPT converts L-Alanine and a-Ketoglutarate to
Pyruvate and Glutamate. The Pyruvate formed reacts
with 2,4,Dinitrophenyl hydrazine to produce a
hydrazone derivative, which in an alkaline medium
produces a brown coloured complex whose intensity is
measured.
6. Procedure
One Reagent Procedure:
Mix and after 1min incubation, measure
the change of Optical Density per min(
OD/min) during 3 minutes.
Working Reagent 1ml
Sample 0.1ml
7. Two Reagent Procedure:
Mix and after 1min incubation, measure the
change of Optical Density per min ( OD/min)
during 3 minutes.
Working Reagent 1ml
Sample 0.125ml
Mix, wait 1min and add
Reagent 0.250ml
8. Calculations & Normal Range
At 340nm with one-reagent procedure and the two-
reagent procedure: Activity (U/L) = OD/min 1746.
The reference range for ALT is 20-60 IU/L.
9. There are 3 basic interpreting conditions:
High Levels of ALT.
Moderately high levels of ALT.
Slightly high levels of ALT.
10. 1. Liver damage (acute viral hepatitis,
toxins/drugs including acetaminophen
overdose, acute fulminant hepatitis).
2. Peak levels do not necessarily correlate with
prognosis.
3. Tumor necrosis.
11. Chronic liver disease
Alcohol abuse
Cholestasis
Heart damage (heart attack, heart failure)
Kidney damage
Muscle injury
Hemolysis
Heatstroke (level dependent on extent of tissue
damage)
High consumption of vitamin A
12. Fatty change in the liver
Alcohol abuse
Cirrhosis
Mononucleosis
Drugs (i.e. statins, aspirin, barbiturates, HIV
medication, herbs).
13. Serum, Heparinized or EDTA plasma free from
hemolysis.
Hemolysis should be avoided, since ALAT activity in
erythrocytes is 3 to 5 times higher than in normal
serum.
ALAT activity remains stable in specimen up to 3 days
at 15-25ºC or up to 7 days at 2-8ºC.
Although samples frozen at -20ºC can be stored
longer than 7 days, it is recommended to perform the
assay with freshly collected samples!
