متن کاملTransaminitis in Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.
BACKGROUND Persistently raised transaminase levels often prompt the clinician to investigate for liver pathology. Previously, some of our patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy have had investigations to look for liver disorders when the alanine transaminases (ALTs) were found incidentally to be high. AIM The objective of the study was to ascertain the levels of the transaminases in pati...
