Abstract

Reference intervals commonly used for evaluating and interpreting laboratory values obtained in athletes are the same used in the general population. Aminotransferases (aspartate aminotransferase [AST], and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) are commonly analyzed in serum for evaluating hepatic function. Some studies in the general population and in blood donors testified that ALT concentrations clearly correlated with weight and body mass.
