Persistent transaminasemia and fatty liver. Their use in the diagnosis of presymptomatic Wilson's disease


A. E. Stillman and L. R. Rohr

A 41/2-year-old asymptomatic girl with persistent elevated serum transaminase levels for eight months was found to have Wilson's disease. The diagnosis was suspected by the presence of fatty liver and nonspecific chronic hepatitis on liver biopsy and was proved by studies of copper metabolism, including determinations of serum ceruloplasmin and hepatic copper concentrations. Unexplained persistent transaminase elevation in children demand investigation by needle liver biopsy. Th presence of fatty liver and hepatitis should raise the possibility of Wilson's disease, which may then be confirmed by more specific tests. Advantages to early diagnosis include the institution of specific therapy and prevention of progressive liver disease.

I change elicitable (which to my knowledge has never been a "real word" to "able to be elicited."  My doctor dictator thanked me for this once (I was suprised that he noticed).  I checked this out with several transcripitionists that I have worked with who have lots of experience and are CMTs and they also edit this word to "able to be elicited."

He should point it out to his supervisor because it is wrong. I don't care what QA says unless they can show me a resource where they got their information and it checks out. I would also point out to the client this fact. If they don't want to have their transcription correct and concise then I don't want their work. Right is right, wrong is wrong. I am really strong on this especially since the "new AAMT" has made all their "changes" and believe their BOS is the bible. It is not. Many of their "rules" are correct. Many of the are not. Research some of their changes and you will see just how over the top they have gone (it seems to be a control issue and they WILL cram it down your throat). I say that we all research on our own and go to reliable trusted sources that have been proven over time to be correct. The "New AAMT" definitely has not proven itself over time and incidentally they are not there for Americans anymore, they are there for the "overseas community." Humbug on them! Anyone know who could take the place of AAMT for American transcriptionits? After all, we are all Americans here and the language is English.
