Correlation of serum direct bilirubin and transaminase levels with urinary TBARS. Urine and serum specimens were obtained from cholestatic (n = 27) and control (n = 16) infants, as described in Materials and methods. Urinary TBARS levels of infants (n = 43) were plotted against (top) serum direct bilirubin (NS; analysis done after exclusion of three outlying points) or (bottom) ALT (r = 0.43, P = 0.04) or AST (r = 0.44, P = 0.02). Natural logarithm transformations of variables are used, and regression lines are displayed. ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transaminase; TBARS, thiobarbituric-acid-reacting substances.
