Indian pediatrics, 2017•europepmc.orgWe describe 8 children-with incidentally detected isolated elevation of liver enzymes
aspartate aminotansferase and alanine aminotransferase-who were extensively evaluated
for hepatic causes before finally being diagnosed to have muscular dystrophy. Serum
creatinine phosphokinase levels, if performed early during the work-up, may help in
diagnosis of muscle disease and avoid unnecessary investigations for liver disease.
