Jul 7 - Evaluation of Elevated LFTs

Discussion of a case of acute alcoholic liver disease with underlying cirrhosis.  Some links to things discussed this AM:

Comprehensive NEJM review on Cirrhosis and Ascites - Excellent review of cirrhosis management.

This NEJM article on evaluation of abnormal LFTs is a nice complement to the uptodate article on the reading list.

Finally - this article walks you through how and when to do a paracentesis and how to interpret the results.  Part of the outstanding "Rational Clinical Exam" series in JAMA.
