Liver injury is a well-known complication of exertional heat stroke. However severe acute irreversible liver dysfunction is rarely seen. Commonly, it manifest by only biochemically trouble as increased transaminases.

This reported case illustrate the difficulties in diagnosis of such disease and suggest that exertional heat storke can cause a cholestasis liver injury
