Abstract

Prolonged elevation of serum aminotransferase activity in an asymptomatic child is usually thought to be secondary to hepatic disease. These enzymes also originate from skeletal muscle. Here a case with persistent elevation of serum aminotransferase levels who were diagnosed as limb girdle disease. Patients with persistent hypertransaminasemia should be evaluated for muscle disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Özet

Çocuklarda süregelen aminotransferaz yüksekliği karaciğer dışı sistem hastalıkları, özellikle de musküler distrofilerle ilişkili olabilmektedir. Sarkoglikonopatiler progresif musküler distrofilerin nadir görülen bir tipi olup Limb Girdle hastalığı denilen grupta yer almaktadır. Burada süregelen aminotransferaz yüksekliği ile prezente olan ve ek olarak hepatomegalinin saptandığı bir sarkoglikonopati olgusu sunulacaktır.
