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.
