Distinguishing Autoimmune Hepatitis From Steatohepatitis in Adolescents With Obesity and Positive Screening Alanine Aminotransferase
Screening children with obesity for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease leads to identification of elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and is a common cause for referral to pediatric gastroenterology. Guidelines recommend that children with positive screening ALT be evaluated for causes of ALT elev...

description | Screening children with obesity for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease leads to identification of elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and is a common cause for referral to pediatric gastroenterology. Guidelines recommend that children with positive screening ALT be evaluated for causes of ALT elevation beyond nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. One clinical challenge is that autoantibodies can be present in patients with obesity and thus may or may not represent autoimmune hepatitis. This case series highlights the importance of a comprehensive evaluation to reach an accurate diagnosis. |
