Laboratory work-up was the following: total bilirubin
29 mg/dL (conjugated bilirubin 25 mg/dL), alanine
aminotransferase 54 IU/L, aspartate aminotransferase
65 IU/L, alkaline phosphatase 694 IU/L, g-glutamyl-
transferase 69 IU/L, total proteins 7.4 g/dL, albumin
2.8 g/dL; also, partial thromboplastin and prothrom-
bin time were prolonged between three and four times
the reference value.

Laboratory studies revealed alkaline phosphatase 262 IU/l, total bilirubin 4.95 mg/dl, direct bilirubin 3.8 mg/dl, indirect bilirubin 1.2 mg/dl, alanine aminotransferase 162 IU/l, aspartate aminotransferase 72 IU/l, and lipase 160 IU/l. A computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast showed a slight prominence of the pancreatic head, which may have been normal for the patient’s age.

However, there was no evidence of fluid overload or hepatic encephalopathy. Initial laboratory results revealed a blood urea nitrogen level of 27 mg/dL (7–22 mg/dL), a creatinine level of 1.2 mg/dL (0.6 –1.3 mg/dL), a total bilirubin level of 50 mg/dL (0.1–1.2 mg/dL) (the direct fraction was 36 mg/dL), an alanine aminotransferase level of 301 U/L (0 – 40 U/L), an aspartate aminotransferase level of 121 U/L (0 –37 U/L), an alkaline phosphatase level of 416 U/L (30 –120 U/L), a serum albumin level of 3.4 g/dL (3.5–5.3 g/dL), and an international normalized ratio of 1.1. Viral serologies (hepatitis A, B, and C, Epstein–Barr virus, cytomegalovirus) were negative,
