AN INTERESTING CASE OF RETRACTION TRANSAMINITIS – A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Stanley Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Retraction transaminitis, is a rare condition observed during the postoperative period of major open surgeries like laparotomy. This is due to mechanical pressure exerted by liver retractor in major long duration surgery. The mechanical pressure and ischemia following it causes liver cell injury and release of liver enzymes particularly transaminases leading to elevated liver function test parameters in the early postoperative period without any ill symptoms. Mild elevation of bilirubin is usually found in many surgeries due to haemolysis or blood transfusion during or before surgery. This elevation of liver enzymes is transient and reverses back to its normal level in the following few days without any intervention or treatment and this benign condition is called Retraction transaminitis.
