Abstract

This report presents a hepatitis B surface antigen positive case presenting with acute hepatitis and with findings of low serum alanine aminotransferase in contrast to very high levels of aspartate aminotransferase. A 64 year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with fatigue and jaundice Hepatitis B surface antigen was positive. During follow up, aspartate aminotransferase levels remained very high, while alanine aminotansferase levels continued to be extremely low. Additionally, all of the patients five daughters had low alanine aminotransferase levels. The clinical importance of alanine aminotransferase deficiency is still unclear.

Özet

Olduçka yüksek AST düzeylerine rağmen düşük ALT düzeyleri olan HbsAg pozitif akut hepatit geçiren bir olgu sunuyoruz.64 yaşında kadın hasta iştahsızlık ve sarılık nedeniyle hospitalize edildi. Hepatit B yüzey antijeni pozitifti. Izlem sırasında AST düzeyleri oldukça yüksek seyrederken aksine ALT düzeyleri oldukça düşük olarak saptandı. Ayrıca, Hastanın B kızında da düşük ALT düzeyleri saptandı. Böylece hastada ALT enzim eksikliği olduğu düşünüldü. Halen ALT enzim eksikliğinin klinik önemi bilinmemektedir.
