Respuesta:

This may be liver shock, which is caused by hypotension, hepatocytes get destroyed and liver enzymes are very very high. it is reversible and self-limited resolves after correcting BP (unless pt has chronic liver disease) If it occurs with CLD --> this may be a cause for liver decompensation.
