Sumario:A schizophrenic patient showed rhabdomyolysis with idiopathic transaminitis. The intermixed pattern of intrahepatic and extrahepatic alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation is associated with respective clinical‐therapeutic events. Aminotransferases play a role as surrogate biomarkers of “liver metabolic functioning” beyond the obsolete classical concept associating ALT elevation only with liver cellular damage.
