Interpreting abnormal liver tests: a cased-based discussion

Elevated liver enzymes are commonly seen by paediatricians in clinical practice. For many clinicians, interpreting deranged liver enzymes can be challenging. There is a lack of an evidence based approach to this. Alterations in liver enzymes may be a normal physiological response to an intercurrent illness or in certain cases may also reflect an underlying liver condition. In this review, we will aim to provide, through a series of cases, a guide on the approach of deranged liver enzymes to conditions that health care professionals may ‘commonly’ encounter.
