Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my patient who was 2 years old. He eats so much and has hepatomegaly. No splenomegaly. Serum sugar, ferrum, CPK were normal while ASAT, ALAT increased. Abdominal CT: Hepatomegaly. We are suspecting metabolic disorder? but i could not define exactly what illness. what do you think?
Hi thanks for asking question. Noted this 2 year child having elevated liver enzymes and hepatomegaly....
Here yes chances of metabolic disorder is present....like that if glycogen storage disorder or tyrosinemia....
Detailed investigation and complete history taken .... If need liver biopsy might needed...for his to pathological examination.....
Niman pick disease or Wilson disease also congenital causes....
And yes finally congenital hemolytic anemia also has to be ruled out.... If need electrophoresis might done from blood sample to rule out sickle cell or thal.
Hope your concern solved...
