Levels and Initial Course of Serum Alanine Aminotransferase Can Predict Outcome of Patients With Budd-Chiari Syndrome
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology , 11/05/09
Rautou PE et al. – Determination of ALT levels at patient presentation allows 2 variants of Budd–Chiari syndrome to be distinguished.

High levels of ALT that decrease slowly predict a poor outcome for patients and might justify rapid aggressive management.
