Pregunta:
A patient 65 years old is admitted to the ER for cardiogenic shock, we see on labs ALT 2000 and AST 1500, what is the course of action and differential?
Autor: H KRespuesta:
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.
