Ketosis Causing Spurious Elevation of SGOT Values

Paul L. Wolf 1, Claire Langston 1, Abraham I. Potolsky 1, and Dorothy J. Williams 1

1 Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, Calif. 94305.

In two patients, spurious enhancements of SGOT on SMA 12/60 determination caused erroneous diagnoses of liver disease, which could have led to potentially hazardous diagnostic measures. Such errors can be avoided by an ultraviolet spectroscopic check of suspect SGOT values.


Key Words: ultraviolet spectroscopy of SGOT • SMA 12/60 • AutoAnalyzer
