Abstract

High levels of alanine aminotransferse enzyme has been associated with non A non B hepatitis. In costa Rica, in order to determine the enzyme limit value, necesarry to exclu de persons for blood donation, a population fo 2570 blood clonors vvas studied. The results indicated 51,6 U/I„ for women and 101.4 U/L for men as the limit value. Men showed unusually high values, justifing the exclussion of the 20% of the upper values, if we continued using values of other populations.
