This table also discloses the mean serum GGT, ALT, AST activities, levels of TP and ALB of the age groups 15-20 years and 21-41 years in patients with sickle cell anaemia, showed no statistical significant difference (p > 0.05) in the values obtained of age group 15-20 years when compared with age group 21-36 years.
