We report an asymptomatic 23-year-old woman with an isolated and persistent increase in serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST). An extensive work up including laboratory and image testing revealed no abnormalities thus suggesting the presence of macro-AST. A polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation assay was performed and confirmed the presence of macro-AST.
我们报告了一名23岁无症状女性,其血清天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)水平单独且持续升高。包括实验室和影像检查在内的全面检查未发现异常,因此提示存在巨AST。进行了聚乙二醇(PEG)沉淀试验,证实了巨AST的存在。
