Journal Article
Shah, A. A., Patton, M., Chishty, W. H., & Hussain, A. (2010). Analysis of elevated liver enzymes in an acute medical setting: Jaundice may indicate increased survival in elderly patients with bacterial sepsis. Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 16(4), 260-263. https://doi.org/10.4103/1319-3767.70609

BACKGROUND /AIM:
It has been shown previously that in primary care settings in UK abnormal liver enzymes are not adequately investigated and followed up; hence potentially treatable chronic liver diseases remain undiagnosed. No such published data... Read More about Analysis of elevated liver enzymes in an acute medical setting: Jaundice may indicate increased survival in elderly patients with bacterial sepsis.
