Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Clinical Chemistry
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Blood donation screening is crucial for public health.
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is a key biomarker for liver health.
  • Standardized testing methods are essential for reliable diagnostic results.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of an ALT microplate test as a screening method for blood donors.
  • To validate the optimized standard method for ALT testing at 37°C.

Summary:

  • Sera with initial elevated ALT values underwent retesting using an optimized standard method at 37°C.
  • Out of 420 retested sera, 103 confirmed elevated ALT levels.
  • The ALT microplate test demonstrated suitability for screening blood donor samples.

Impact:

  • This study supports the use of the ALT microplate test for efficient and reliable blood donor screening.
  • Improved screening protocols can enhance the safety of blood transfusions.
  • The findings contribute to the standardization of diagnostic assays in clinical laboratories.
