13. Laboratory analysis of plasma enzymes

From greek.doctor
  • Enzymes
    • Measurement based on enzyme activity
    • Enzyme + substrate ->
      • coloured product -> photometry
      • or a secondary reaction which forms a coloured product -> photometry
      • or there is a change in NADH -> photometry with UV light
    • 1 unit = 1 µmol substrate per minute
    • U/L = µmol/min/L
  • Most frequently measured enzymes
    • ASAT
    • ALAT
    • GGT
    • ALP
    • LDH
    • CK
    • Amylase
    • Lipase
