Abstract:Background
Marked elevation in aminotransferases (≥1000 IU/l) is typically associated with acute liver injury. Here, we hypothesized that the cause of elevation in aminotransferases ≥1000 in patients with cirrhosis is likely due to a limited number of disorders and may be associated with poor outcomes.
Aim
We aimed to investigate the most common etiologies of acute elevations in aminotransferases in patients with cirrhosis, and to examine their associat… Show more
