| Clinicopathologic parameter | Day | Reference interval | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 6 | ||
| ALP | 69 | 56 | NA | 12–59 IU/L |
| ALT | 334 | 502 | 653 | 27–158 IU/L |
| GGT | 8 | 11 | NA | 0–6 IU/L |
| Total bilirubin | 89 | 103 | 118 | 0–5 µmol/L |
ALT was markedly elevated in this patient; only mild cholestasis was present in spite of moderate hyperbilirubinemia. ALP = alkaline phosphatase; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; GGT = gamma-glutamyl transferase; NA = not available.
