  • Title: Isolated elevated serum transaminases leading to the diagnosis of asymptomatic Pompe disease.
    Author: Hoeksma M, Boon M, Niezen-Koning KE, van Overbeek-van Gils L, van Spronsen FJ.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr; 2007 Aug; 166(8):871-4. PubMed ID: 17043839.
    Abstract:
    An asymptomatic boy, aged 1.5 years, was referred with presumed liver disease because of persistently increased transaminase. Ultimately Pompe disease was confirmed, without specific abnormalities in muscle biopsy. This case demonstrates that increased transaminases do not always suggest liver disease. It is hard to determine prognosis and to decide whether enzyme replacement therapy should be started in asymptomatic patients with Pompe disease.
