  • Title: [Long-term hypertransaminasemia disclosing a muscular disease].
    Author: Odièvre M, Rivron M, Landrieu P.
    Journal: Arch Fr Pediatr; 1987; 44(6):453-4. PubMed ID: 3619584.
    Abstract:
    Prolonged increase in serum transaminase activity is usually seen in chronic liver disease. Evaluation in one patient with such a prolonged increase having no evidence of liver disease including histological examination, revealed a limb girdle muscular dystrophy. This case suggests that a muscular disease should be suspected in all children with persistent increase in serum transaminase activity when the liver is apparently normal.
