Serum aldolase levels are higher in children than adults. This study provides pediatric reference ranges for the Pinto assay method, crucial for accurate clinical interpretation.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Clinical Chemistry
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Serum aldolase levels are typically higher in pediatric populations compared to adults.
  • Established reference ranges are essential for accurate clinical diagnosis and monitoring.
  • Previous studies often lack pediatric data for widely adopted assay methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish age-related serum aldolase reference ranges for children.
  • To validate these ranges using the Pinto and associates assay method.
  • To provide updated pediatric reference data for clinical laboratories.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Pinto and associates assay method for serum aldolase determination.
  • Collected serum samples from a pediatric cohort.

  • Analyzed data to establish age-specific reference ranges.

    • Main Results:

    • Presented age-related serum aldolase reference ranges for children.
    • Demonstrated statistically reliable ranges specific to the Pinto assay.
    • Highlighted differences in aldolase levels across pediatric age groups.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully established pediatric reference ranges for serum aldolase using the Pinto assay.
    • These findings offer vital data for the accurate assessment of aldolase levels in children.
    • The provided ranges will aid clinicians in pediatric diagnosis and management.
