Abstract:
Ischemic Hepatitis is an uncommon entity in daily clinical practice with a prevalence of 0.16 to 0.5% among patients admitted to a critical care unit, associated with an approximate 60% mortality rate. This liver disease is characterized by a rapid and marked increase (more than 20 times the normal value) of the level of transaminases secondary to a severe and persistent hepatic hypoperfusion caused by multiple etiologies, which may be transient when the triggering cause is timely identified and appropiately treated. The case of an elderly adult patient with a clinical, epidemiological and biochemical profile compatible with ischemic hepatitis secondary to severe cardiac dysfunction is presented below.
