| Description | Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) reagent is used for the quantitative determination of alanine aminotransferase (Glutamate pyruvate transaminase, SGPT) in human serum. The enzyme alanine aminotransferase is widely reported in a variety of tissue sources. The major source of ALT (SGPT) is of hepatic origin and has led to the application of ALT (SGPT) determinations in the study of hepatic diseases. Elevated serum ALT (SGPT) levels are found in hepatitis, cirrhosis, and obstructive jaundice. Levels of ALT (SGPT) are only slightly elevated in patients following a myocardial infarction. Since 1955 many methods and modifications have been proposed for the determination of ALT (SGPT). The various methods generally fall into two categories: colorimetric and ultraviolet. It is generally agreed that the ultraviolet method is more sensitive than the colorimetric method. Our colorimetric method is based on dinitrophenylhydrazine formation. This method is relatively simple and has limited but acceptable accuracy. |
