Clinical Significance: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) measurements are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease and certain liver diseases, eg., viral hepatitis and cirrhosis. ALT activity in tissue is generally much lower then aspirate aminotransferase (AST) activity and is found in highest concentrations in the liver. ALT is often measured in conjunction with AST to determine whether the source of the AST is the liver or the heart. ALT is normally not elevated in cases of myocardial infarction, i.e., a normal ALT, in conjunction with an elevated AST, tends to suggest cardiac disease. However, slight elevations of ALT may occur if an infarct destroys a very large volume of heart muscle. |

Other causes of elevated serum amylase are inflammation of salivary glands (mumps), biliary tract disease and bowel obstruction. Elevated serum amylase can also be seen with drugs (e.g., morphine)which constrict the pancreatic duct sphinter preventing excretion of amylase into the intestine. |

ASO levels do not rise with cutaneous infections. In the absense of complications or reinfection, the ASO level will fall to preinfection levels within 6 to 12 months. Over 80% of patients with acute rheumatic fever and 95% of patients with acute glomerulonephritis have elevated levels of ASO. |

Arsenic, Blood
Test Code: 15751 | CPT Code: 82175 |
Specimen Type: (K2) EDTA whole blood | |
Sample Volume: 5.0 mL (3.0mL - min) | |
Transport Condition: Refrigerated/ frozen condition | |
Specimen Rejection Criteria: Green top (heparin) tube | |
Methodology: GFAAS | |
Special Requirements: If either gadolinium or iodine containing contrast media has been administered, specimen should not be collected for 96 hours. | |
Clinical Significance: Arsenic exists in a number of toxic and nontoxic forms. Blood concentrations of arsenic are elevated for a short time after exposure, after which arsenic rapidly disappears into tissues because if its affinity for tissue proteins. The body treats arsenic like phosphate. This assay aids in detection of acute/ very recent arsenic exposure, and in monitoring the effectiveness of therapy. |

Clinical Significance: AST is widely distributed throughout the tissue with significant amounts being in the heart and liver. Lesser amounts are also found in skeletal muscles, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, lungs and brain. Injury to these tissues results in the release of the AST enzyme to the general circulation. In myocardial infarction, serum AST may begin to rise within 6-8 hrs after onset, peak within two days and return to normal by the fourth or fifth day post infarction. An increase in serum AST is also found with hepatitis, liver necrosis, cirrhosis and liver metastasis. |
