Abstrakt:	Introduction: Laboratory investigations pursued for infants with failure to thrive (FTT) often show mild transaminase elevations, the incidence and significance of which are unknown. Methods: This retrospective chart review included infants diagnosed with simple nutritional FTT at a single academic tertiary care system. Comparisons of diagnostic studies and outcomes between children with and without transaminase elevation were performed using chi-square and Wilcoxon rank sum tests. Results: None of the infants with abnormal transaminases required additional follow-up or developed alternative diagnoses in the following year. Discussion: Transaminase elevation may be common in infants with FTT and may not warrant further investigation if the history indicates an isolated etiology of insufficient nutrition.
