[MCOH-EH] SGPT/ALT response

[Knoblauch, Denise]

Our clinic still orders these tests on the exposed individual at this time.
We have a performance project team that is reviewing standardization of BBP exposure order sets across our corporate structure

 Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays so far!

I am curious to know if your health center / institution includes SGPT/ALT in your BBP exposure follow-up protocol for either the source or the employee. I would be interested in knowing why you include or do not do so. It used to be a part of routine protocol as a proxy to detect asymptomatic hepatitis in the source, but am not sure if that is relevant now, given the current more sensitive tests.

I am aware of a study done by Bill Buchta in Mayo many years ago and a talk that he gave on this topic.

Thanks!

Abhijay

What are facilities using and what is best practice??
