Albumin (bromcresol green and bromcresol purple methods), ALP, apolipoprotein AI, AST, AST (activated, with pyridoxal phosphate), total bilirubin, total C[O.sub.2], creatinine (enzymatic and Jaffe methods), IgM, iron, lipase, transferrin, HDL cholesterol, and uric acid all required additional sex-stratified reference intervals.
