Hepatic enzymes gamma-glutamyl transferase

Hepatic Effects. A study that measured levels of several liver enzymes (alanine amino transferase, aspartate amino transferase, gamma glutamyl transferase, and alkaline phosphatase) found no significant differences between workers exposed to silver and insoluble silver compounds and those with no history of silver exposure (Pifer et al. 1989).

Severe overdosage of sodium aurothiopropanol sulfonate (1.1 g daily for 13 days) caused jaundice and skin eruptions. Liver biopsies showed modest centrilobular necrosis and significant bile stasis. Serum hepatic enzyme activities were increased. The patient was treated with dimercaprol and recovered after 2 months, although alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl-transferase activities remained high for 6 months. [Pg.1527]
