title: [Determination of the cut-off for marker TPA in healthy children].
abstract: In the present study the authors investigated the normal range of the marker TPA in the sera of 100 children (apparently healthy) aged from 0 to 6 years. Well-defined criteria as guide-lines to the interpretation of laboratory results are a very urgent necessity for the expanding utilization of clinical laboratory data. To avoid possible mistakes on such an important area as new MT for the definition of a decisional standard for all the most relevant laboratory marker test. All patients have serum TPA values of less than 95 U/l and confirmed the distribution of TPA values in healthy individuals.
