Hemodynamic effects of aortocaval compression and uterine contractions in a parturient with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction

摘要

Despite the lack of a uniform definition, liver injury often is evaluated with routinely performed biochemistry tests, including AST, ALT, ALP, and y-glutamyl transpeptidase. Hepatocellular injury is defined by elevation in serum ami-notransferases, whereas cholestatic injury is associated with marked elevations in ALP and y-glutamyl transpeptidase with moderate or normal elevation of serum aminotrans-ferases. At ICU admission, these tests have been reported to be abnormal in as many as 61% of patients, correlating with short-term mortality.
