In addition to the x-y log-log plot of peak ALT and TBL values
for each person in the study, you then also need
The time course of all liver tests (ALT, AST, ALP,
TBL) for patients or subjects of interest, and
• The clinical narrative, for clues to probable cause
and severity of the liver dysfunction; differential
diagnosis and should be written by a physician
• Try to determine the probable cause! Treat the
cause if possible; if drug-induced, stop the drug.
