Role of Vaginal Fluid Aspartate Aminotransferase and Alanine Aminotransferase in the Diagnosis of Pre-Labor Rupture of Membranes

Abstract

Background: Pre-labor rupture of membrane is a common obstetric complication. Rapid and good diagnosis is needed to prevent bad obstetric complication and unneeded hospitalization. Aim of work:The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT] enzymes measurement in vaginal washing fluid for the diagnosis of pre-labour rupture of membranes.
