Liver function tests in patients presenting with Dengue fever is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research''. The main subjects of the publication include medicine, liver function test, arbovirus, dengue fever, internal medicine, and virology. Background & Objectives: Dengue is probably the most important arthropod-borne viral disease worldwide.Dengue is caused by flavi virus types 1-4.Liver involvement is one of the common features in dengue fever.Various studies have shown that in all those patients who develop complications like dengue hemorrhagic fever, dengue shock syndrome the levels of SGOT and SGPT were significantly raised.The severity of liver involvement can be a major predictor of morbidity and mortality of such patients with Dengue fever.So LFT can be a used to assess the severity of the disease which can thereby lead to early recognition of high risk cases.
