Description

Elevated liver enzymes are frequently observed in hospital settings, requiring a high level of suspicion for shock liver. In this report, we present a rare case of shock liver induced by Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM). After other common causes of aminotransferase levels exceeding 1000 U/L were excluded, the focus shifted to managing the patient’s hemodynamics. This approach resulted in significant improvement of transaminase levels back to normal.
