title: Hepatic enzymes in Hodgkin's and non Hodgkin's lymphoma.
abstract: Serum alkaline phosphatase levels in patients with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were studied. The findings were correlated with clinical stage, particularly hepatic involvement, and histologic findings. Serum levels of other hepatic enzymes (SGOT, 5,N and gamma GT) were also measured. The usefulness of these studies for clinical staging was described, as well as speculation on the observed differences in Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's patients.
