Activity of 5
nucleotidase (5TNT) was measured by the process explained by (Rieder and Otero, 1969).
Differentials include haemoglobinopathies (thalassemias), lead or arsenic poisoning, unstable haemoglobins, severe infections, sideroblastic anaemia, megaloblastic anaemia and a rare inherited condition, pyrimidine 5'
nucleotidase deficiency [14,22,42].
Clinical laboratory tests can show biliary obstruction, with elevated bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, 50
nucleotidase, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, especially with involvement of the common bile duct.

Inosine monophosphate may then be converted to inosine by 5'
nucleotidase, which, in turn, is converted to hypoxanthine by the action of nucleoside phosphorylase.
