Aims & Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between
serum trace elements with aminotransferases (SGOT, SGPT) tests among chronic
liver disease (CLD) patients.
Introduction: Aminotransferases, specifically aspartate aminotransferase (AST,
formerly SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase, serve as fundamental biomarkers
for hepatocellular injury and LFT [1]. These enzymes are released
into the bloodstream when liver cells are damaged or destroyed, making them
essential diagnostic tools in clinical hepatology [2].
Simultaneously, trace elements including zinc, copper, selenium, iron, and
manganese play crucial roles in liver metabolism, for maintaining hepatic
homeostasis [3].
The
liver serves as the primary organ for trace element metabolism [4].
Recent advances in molecular biology have elucidated complex interactions
between trace element status and liver function [5]. Understanding
these relationships help in maintaining strategies for liver diseases [6].
Essential trace elements participate in oxidative stress regulation,
inflammatory responses, and fibrogenesis pathways [7]. Disruption of
trace element homeostasis can lead to altered liver enzyme levels [8].
The correlation between aminotransferases and trace elements encompases interactions
that influence liver health outcomes [9].
Material &Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 chronic HBV patients at
Jhalawar Medical College, Rajasthan, India. This comprehensive review
synthesizes data from multiple observational studies, clinical trials, and
population-based research examining the relationship between aminotransferases
and trace elements [10]. The primary endpoints examined were
correlations between serum AST/ALT levels and concentrations of zinc, copper,
selenium, iron, and manganese [11].
Population
studies included data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES), European cohorts, and Asian populations, providing diverse
demographic representation [12]. Laboratory measurements employed
atomic absorption spectrophotometry for trace elements and standardized
enzymatic assays for aminotransferases [13]. Statistical analyses
utilized correlation coefficients, multivariate regression models, and adjusted
analyses controlling for demographic and clinical variables [14].
Results: Zinc, Selenium deficiency demonstrates a strong positive correlation
with elevated aminotransferase levels. Elevated liver copper, iron content
correlates positively with fibrosis severity and aminotransferase elevation. Mangnese
also correlates positively with ALT &AST
