1) Dr. Hanifah Oswari is a pediatric gastroentero-hepatologist who presented on evaluating abnormal liver function tests.
2) Liver function tests can be abnormal even when the liver is healthy. When elevated, further evaluation is needed to identify potential causes like viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or rare conditions.
3) For mild chronic elevations in aminotransferases, the presenter recommends first identifying common causes then looking for non-hepatic factors and rare liver diseases, with liver biopsy if the cause remains unknown.
