Factors Predicting Abnormal Liver Function Tests Induced by Graves’ Disease Alone
Abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) are often observed in patients with Graves' disease (GD). To date, there are limited data demonstrating the factors or biochemical indexes contributing to LFT abnormalities in this patient population. The aim of this study was to explore factors predicting abnormal LFTs induced by GD alone. This was a retrospective study of 289 consecutive cases of newly dia...

متن کاملAbnormal Liver Function Tests:
Serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase that exceed 1000 IU/L indicate acute viral hepatitis (A, B and, rarely, C), acute drug toxicity (eg, acetaminophen overdose or isoniazid hepatotoxicity), or ischemic liver injury. In chronic hepatitis (ie, hepatitis B or C or autoimmune), values range from mildly elevated to usually less than 400 IU/L. Elevated levels of al...
متن کاملEvaluation of abnormal liver function tests
Interpretation of abnormalities in liver function tests is a common problem faced by clinicians. This has become more common with the introduction of automated routine laboratory testing. Not all persons with one or more abnormalities in these tests actually have liver disease. The various biochemical tests, their pathophysiology, and an approach to the interpretation of abnormal liver function...
