Impact of aging on alanine aminotransferase levels and frailty in chronic kidney disease patients: laboratory-based cross-sectional study in Northwest Ethiopia
The serum level of ALT was significantly correlated with age and frailty in CKD patients. Thus, ALT levels can be used as a biomarker for aging and frailty. The age of CKD patients and HTN were factors significantly associated with frailty.
