The aim of this study was to determine liver enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP and GGT) in the Teréna population in Mato Grosso do Sul. Two hundred forty six individuals were evaluated, 119 males and 127 females, aged over 20 years of villages Tereré and Lagoinha, located respectively in Sidrolândia and between the towns of Dois Irmãos do Buriti and Sidrolândia. The enzymes were determined by kinetic method using automated equipment. The population studied had generally normal liver enzyme activity, since 204 individuals (82.9%) showed normal level of AST, 212 (86.2%) normal level of ALT and ALP and 174 (70 7%) normal level of GGT. Higher values of AST, ALT, ALP and GGT were found respectively in 42 (17.1%), 34 (13.8%), 34 (13.8%) and 72 (29.3%) of Terena indians. This study indicate that the majority of this population, the liver function is within physiological limits.
