| Popis: | Background: To study liver function test in dengue fever patients. Methods: This study was hospital based prospective study, which included 100 cases of dengue fever. Results: 28 patients had ALT >1-3 ×UNL (upper normal limit), 18 patients had ALT >3-10×UNL and 6 patients had >10×UNL. 24 patients had AST >1-3×UNL, 23 patients had AST >3-10×UNL and 11 patients had >10×UNL. Conclusion: The aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in dengue patients was higher than alanine aminotransferase(ALT) levels. This differs from the pattern in viral hepatitis but is similar to that seen in alcoholic hepatitis. |
