Conclusions: An antifungal regimen of micafungin and nebulized amphotericin B liposomal may be useful at decreasing the duration of elevated liver enzymes in pediatric patients in the immediate post‐lung transplant period when compared with voriconazole monotherapy. Larger prospective studies ...
A compounded unimpressive pattern of LFT elevation (elevated, but not 20 times the upper limit of normal and dramatically out of proportion to the alkaline phosphatase, as is typically seen in hepatocellular causes such as hepatitis and cirrhosis) These laboratory findings are most clinically concernin...
Female, 58, with history of multiple cardiovascular incidents presented with elevated liver function tests (GGT 1048, ALP 167, AST 219, ALT 93) while on atorvastatin therapy. After removal of the statin, her LFTs improved (GGT 419, ALP 122, AST 80, ALT 98) which indicated ...
Patients with Fontan circulation, require screening for liver cirrhosis and malignancy, to which they are susceptible with time. Surveillance biopsies reveal nearly all adult Fontan patients develop asymptomatic fibrosis, and a majority have abnormal liver function tests (LFTs). This presents significant ...
In this narrative review, we aimed to summarize pragmatically the diagnostic work-up (Figure 1) and the management of subjects with elevated LFTs during pregnancy. Figure 1. Diagnostic work-up of altered liver function tests during pregnancy. 2...
