Abstract
|
|
|
Abnormalities of hepatic function and morpholgy have been observed frequently in severely injured patients. The causes of these abnormalities are not established although hepatic ischemia has been implicated. In this study, elevated serum
enzymatic
changes(SGOT SGPT) were observed in 34 of 103 patients with maxillofacial trauma. They usually recovered at normal values before receiving an operation and complete recovery was seen before discharge. We must differentiate the true liver disease
from
the trauma-related false abnormal liver function. The careful study of elevated SGOT and SGPT levels in the injured patient is important in the assessment of those individuals who are at risk for drug related complications and potential
misdiagnosis of
the true liver disease.
