Core Tip Hypertransaminasemia in non-cirrhotic intensive care unit patients is more often the biochemical echo of hypoperfusion, sepsis, drug toxicity or parenteral-nutrition cholestasis than a sign of primary hepatopathy. A structured, pattern-based algorithm - degree of aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase rise, timing, haemodynamic milieu and medication exposure - enables rapid discrimination among hypoxic liver injury, drug-induced liver injury, sepsis-associated liver injury and parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease, guides targeted intervention and prevents futile diagnostics. Novel biomarkers such as glutamate dehydrogenase and microRNA-122 provide muscle-independent, early detection of hepatocellular injury and represent the next frontier for precision hepatology in critical care.
