  77. 77. WHILE WE’RE ON THE SUBJECT OF LIVER FUNCTION TESTS Lab tests: • ESR 11 mm/hr (NL=0-10) • CRP 0.2 mg/L (NL=0.2-9.7) • AST 1174 IU/L (NL=8-33) • ALT 588 IU/L (NL<25) • Lactate 2.1 mmol/L (NL=1.0-2.2) • Other routine chemistry tests normal Adapted from SIMD-NAMA
  78. 78. WHILE WE’RE ON THE SUBJECT OF LIVER FUNCTION TESTS Previously healthy 2-year-old boy. Parents are worried because he “seems weak” following an episode of roseola 3 months ago and a recent episode of acute gastroenteritis. Also complaining that his legs hurt. Weakness began about 3 weeks after most recent illness, and has progressed; now unable to stand from a sit, can no longer run, and seems clumsy. Normal development. Adapted from SIMD-NAMA
  79. 79. WHILE WE’RE ON THE SUBJECT OF LIVER FUNCTION TESTS On examination, he is not jaundiced and there is no liver enlargement. Head lag, symmetric hypotonia with variable muscle atrophy, diminished reflexes. When trying to stand from a sitting position, he requires assistance. He cruises holding on to the furniture. Bilateral calf hypertrophy, firm on palpation. Adapted from SIMD-NAMA
  80. 80. WHILE WE’RE ON THE SUBJECT OF LIVER FUNCTION TESTS Lab tests: • ESR 11 mm/hr (NL=0-10) • CRP 0.2 mg/L (NL=0.2-9.7) • AST 1174 IU/L (NL=8-33) • ALT 588 IU/L (NL<25) • Lactate 2.1 mmol/L (NL=1.0-2.2) • Other routine chemistry tests normal • CK > 32,000 (NL=39-308) Adapted from SIMD-NAMA
