Diagnostic approach for children with increased serum concentrations of aminotransferases
The detection of elevated serum levels of aminotransferases in children is common in daily clinical practice. Although non-specific, their increased serum level serve as a marker for hepatic cytolysis. Diverse conditions are associated with elevated transaminases. The objective of this article is to...

| description | The detection of elevated serum levels of aminotransferases in children is common in daily clinical practice. Although non-specific, their increased serum level serve as a marker for hepatic cytolysis. Diverse conditions are associated with elevated transaminases. The objective of this article is to offer pediatricians a step-by-step guide for the differential diagnosis of hypertransaminasemia in children. |
