RESUMEN
Introducción. La coledocolitiasis aguda se presenta cuando un cálculo se impacta en el conducto biliar distal. Usualmente se manifiesta con un patrón colestásico, con aumento de la AST y ALT leve o moderado. Sin embargo, se han reportado series de casos de coledocolitiasis con AST y ALT con valores >400 UI/L, lo que puede llevar al médico a considerar una hepatitis como diagnóstico presuntivo, en vez de una coledocolitiasis. Con esta revisión exploratoria se pretende explicar esta forma de presentación, y sugerir los pasos que debe dar el clínico para identificar estos casos y brindar un diagnóstico oportuno y certero. Metodología. Se realizó una revisión exploratoria utilizando los buscadores PubMed, BIREME (BVS), LILACS y Google Académico, con las palabras MeSH "choledocholithiasis", "transaminases" y el conector "and", así como los términos DeCS "coledocolitiasis", "transaminasas" y el conector "y". Resultados. Se incluyeron en el análisis un total de 20 estudios relacionados con el tema coledocolitiasis y elevación de AST o ALT >400 UI/L. Se encontró que el aumento de AST o ALT entre 400 UI/L y 500 UI/L se presentó en el 5,76% de los casos, valores entre 500 UI/L y 800 UI/L en el 36,8%, entre 800 UI/L y 1.000 UI/L en el 9%, y valores >1.000 UI/L en el 6,43% de los casos. Conclusión. La coledocolitiasis con elevación de transaminasas AST o ALT >400 UI/L es una situación que debe tenerse presente, en particular en personas jóvenes, y en aquellos sin historia de problemas hepáticos previos. Es necesario que el médico tenga el diagnóstico presuntivo de coledocolitiasis, aun con niveles de transaminasas que puedan sugerir una hepatitis, y analizar las diferentes variables que son indispensables para lograr un diagnóstico preciso.
ABSTRACT
Introduction. Acute choledocholithiasis occurs when a stone impacts the distal bile duct. It usually manifests with a cholestatic pattern, with a mild or moderate increase in ASL and ALT. However, series of cases of choledocholithiasis have been reported with AST and ALT values >400 IU/L, which may lead the physician to consider hepatitis as a presumptive diagnosis, instead of choledocholithiasis. This scoping review is intended to explain this form of presentation, and to suggestthe steps that the clinician should take to identify these cases and provide a timely and accurate diagnosis. Methodology. A scoping review was carried out using PubMed, BIREME (BVS), LILACS and Google Scholar search engines, with the MeSH words "choledocholithiasis", "transaminases" and the "and" connector, as well as the DeCS terms "coledocolitiasis", "transaminasas" and the "y" connector. Results. A total of 20 studies related to the topic of choledocholithiasis and elevation of AST or ALT >400 IU/L were included in the analysis. It was found that the increase in AST or ALT between 400 IU/L and 500 IU/L occurred in 5.76% of the cases, values between 500 IU/L and 800 IU/L in 36.8%, between 800 IU/L and 1,000 IU/L in 9%, and values >1,000 IU/L in 6.43% of the cases. Conclusion. Choledocholithiasis with elevated AST or ALT transaminases >400 IU/L is an occurrence that should be taken into account, particularly in young people, and in those without a history of previous liver problems. It is necessary for the specialist to have a presumptive diagnosis of choledocholithiasis, even with transaminase levels that may suggest hepatitis, and to analyze the different variables that are essential to achieve an accurate diagnosis.
