title: Pediatric reference ranges for serum aldolase.
abstract: Most investigators have found that serum aldolase levels normally are higher in children than in adults. Although several earlier studies have included sufficient subjects to establish statistically reliable reference ranges, pediatric reference ranges have not been made available for the now widely used assay method of Pinto and associates (Clin Chem 1969;15:349-360.). The authors present age-related ranges determined by this method.
