SERUM BIOTINIDASE ACTIVITY IN

This study was conducted to determine the Serum Biotinidase activity values in children with chronic Liver diseases and to investigate the relation between the enzyme activity and certain Liver function testes.Chronic hepatitis is defined as a chronic inflammatory reaction in the liver continuing without improvement “for at least 6 months”. However, where the diagnosis is obvious, as in autoimmune chronic hepatitis, it is not necessary to Wait 6 months before commencing therapy (Sherlock and Dooley, 1997).
