Abstract: Objective:In order to evaluate the relationship between the activity of ALT and AST and the degree of spinal cord injury,we analyzed the activity of ALT and AST in serum of the patients with acute spinal cord injury(ASCI),the patients with fracture of spine and the ASCI patients at the recovery stage Methods:We investigated the ALT and AST activity in serum of 136 SCI patients in acute and recovery stages respectively by auto Olympus 600 biochemistry analysis instrument Results:The activity of ALT and AST of ASCI patients is much higher than that at recovery phase,and it is also higher than that of patients with spinal column fracture,while activity of patients with complete spinal cord injury is higher than that of patients suffered from incomplete spinal cord injury Conclusion:The activity of AST and ALT in serum may be related to spinal cord injury and its degree

Key words: spinal cord injury, ALT, AST
