Daily Question
|
Which of the following is the LEAST predictive of prognosis in patients with viral hepatitis: the magnitude of serum transaminase level elevation, the severity of the prothrombin time prolongation, or the height of the bilirubin level?
|
|
Answer
|
|
Patients with a prolonged bilirubin level greater than 20 mg/dL and those with a prothrombin time prolonged by more than a few seconds have extensive hepatic necrosis and a poorer prognosis. The magnitude of elevation of the serum transaminase levels is not a good predictor of prognosis.
