Abstract

The alteration in serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT), alkaline phosphotase (ALP) and total protein during giardiasis were studied.This study has been performed on 53 patients with giardiasis; the control consists of 22 children without giardiasis. The results of each group of patients were compared with the same age of the control, the results indicated that the level of serum GOT, GPT and ALP was significantly higher than that of control for each age , while the level of protein was significantly lower than that for control for each age group.The results indicate that the giardiasis affected the function of liver and the intestine, which lead to some biochemical changes in serum.
