Dear Sir or Madam:
I am a trainee in Chemical Pathology in the General Hospital Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. Recently we encountered this problem of undetectable ALT in
patients with end-stage renal failure ( both those who had had their renal
transplant and those still on dialysis therapy).
We are currently using the Hitachi 747 with the assay of ALT acc. To IFCC
recommended method without pyridoxal phosphate. The analyser fails to
detect the ALT level in the serum/plasma.
Thank you for any advice the forum may have on this subject.
