Background: Saliva can be used as a diagnostic fluid in medicine. Components of saliva proposed as disease markers include enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, esterase, glucuronidase, aminopeptidase), immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG), and hormones (steroid hormones)...

Background: The increase in plasma aspartate (AST) and alanine (ALT) aminotransferase after liver resection is multifactorial, and a major problem is the difficult quantification of the impact of each factor involved.
Methods: Regression analysis of a large series of measurements for 92 hepatectomy patients was carried out to assess in detail the postoperative evolution of AST and ALT, together with related components.
Results: The best correlate of increased AST and ALT on postoperative day 1 was the duration of surgery (T-surg) (r2=0.31 and 0.29), with a lower correlation for intraoperative liver ischemia (T-isch) (r2=0.22 and 0.17, respectively; p<0.001 for all)...
Keywords: alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, bilirubin, liver ischemia, liver resection
