76), there is considerable variation between the percentage of GGT and 5 -nucleotidase elevations in individual patients. (Reproduced from Whitefield et al. ) did not involve the liver [58]. The clinical value of GGT lies in its use in conferring organ specificity to an elevated value of alkaline phosphatase, because GGT activity is not elevated in patients with bone disease. Leucine aminopeptidase Leucine aminopeptidase, a proteolytic enzyme, hydrolyzes tissue amino acids from the N-terminal of proteins and polypeptides.
This test is not as sensitive as aminotransferase tests in the detection of liver disease and has poor diagnostic specificity, even when isoenzyme analysis is used. The LDH test is more useful as a marker of myocardial infarction and hemolysis. Marked elevations in serum LDH are sometimes seen in patients with acute liver failure due to ischemia or to infiltration of the liver with tumors such as melanoma or small cell carcinoma of the lung. Sorbitol dehydrogenase Sorbitol dehydrogenase is a cytoplasmic enzyme predominantly present in the liver; only relatively low concentrations are found in the prostate gland and kidneys.
Albumin synthesis is also stimulated by the amino acids that increase urea synthesis, that is, ornithine and arginine [63]. Ornithine serves as a precursor of the polyamine spermine, a compound that promotes polysome formation [63].
