Abstract
The authors present five cases of chronic hypertransam insemia in asymptomatic infants an preschool children. In all cases, the elevated enzymes proved to be not of hepatic causes but of muscular origin. The correct diagnosis of muscular distrophy was easily reached by identifying high levels of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LOH). In order to establish an early correct diagnosis and avoid the expensive analyses, the research of the muscular enzymes is mandatory.
