Popis: Laboratory investigations pursued for infants with failure to thrive (FTT) often show mild transaminase elevations, the incidence and significance of which are unknown.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.None of the infants with abnormal transaminases required additional follow-up or developed alternative diagnoses in the following year.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.
