List of results

In particular, there is often a disproportionate rise in transaminases relative to the alkaline phosphatase, but this is not universal and the pattern can be suggestive of cause. Hepatitis is usually diagnosed by serological tests, depending on the cause.serological tests, depending on the cause.)
