Serum liver enzymes and diabetes from the Rafsanjan cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We evaluated the relation between ALT, AST, GGT and ALP with diabetes in the Rafsanjan Cohort Study.

Materials and methods

The present study is a cross-sectional research including 9991 adults participated via sampling. We used data obtained from the Rafsanjan Cohort Study (RCS), as a part of the prospective epidemiological research studies in IrAN (PERSIAN). Elevated serum levels of ALT, AST, GGT and ALP were defined according to the reference range of the laboratory in the cohort center. Serum liver enzymes levels within the normal range were categorized into quartiles, and their relationship with diabetes was evaluated by logistic regressions.

Findings

In present study, elevated serum levels of ALT, AST, GGT, and ALP were associated with increased odds o
