Abstract

Red cell reduced glutatione (GSH) and pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase (Pry 5'-NT) were measured in a variety of myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative disorders. Raised levels of GSH were found in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia and myeloma. Decreased activity of Pyr 5'-NT was found in acute myeloblastic leukaemia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, chronic granulocytic leukaemia, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. There was no correlation between the raised GSH levels and decrease Pry 5'-NT levels.
