When the abnormal elevation in aminotransferases persist, they require prompt and appropriate investigations as liver diseases in children are often insidious in onset and clinically silent. This article aims to provide (1) an explanation to the aetiologies of elevated aminotransferases; (2) an investigational approach to these children and (3) an insight into further investigations performed at a liver centre.}, issn = {1743-0585}, URL = {https://ep.bmj.com/content/103/5/228}, eprint = {https://ep.bmj.com/content/103/5/228.full.pdf}, journal = {Archives of Disease in Childhood - Education and Practice} }
