  • Title: [Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) as cause of isolated gamma GT rise in a 5-year old boy with hepatomegaly].
    Author: Wössmann W, Wiemann J, Körber F, Gortner L.
    Journal: Klin Padiatr; 2000; 212(3):108-9. PubMed ID: 10916780.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosis of HFI is easily missed during childhood. It should be suspected in children presenting with hepatomegaly and an isolated increase in GGT. A carefully taken nutritional history forms the basis of the diagnosis of HFI which can be confirmed by molecular analysis with a sensitivity of > 95%. I.v. fructose tolerance tests and liver biopsies often can be omitted.
