Incidentally Detected Elevated Liver Enzymes: From Liver to Muscle. We describe 8 children - with incidentally detected isolated elevation of liver enzymes aspartate aminotansferase and alanine aminotransferase - who were extensively evaluated for hepatic causes before finally being diagnosed to have muscular dystrophy. Serum creatinine phosphokinase levels, if performed early during the work-up, may help in diagnosis of muscle disease and avoid unnecessary investigations for liver disease.
