Levels of Aminotransferases Among Schoolchildren in Jaipur, Rajasthan.

We did cross-sectional study for normal values of amino-transferases in school children aged 2- 18 years. Median (IQR) AST and ALT values in study subjects were 30 (27- 34) U/L and 23 (19-29) U/L. We also provided age-and sex-related percentiles of aminotransferases of children. We observed a peak of median AST serum values in the age group 6-8 years followed by continuous decline with increasing age. While in ALT, we observed maximum values in age group 2-5 years followed by continuous decline. There was a statistically significant difference in values of amino-transferases between sexes.
