The effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on liver enzymes in patients referring with unexplained hypertransaminasemia

Abstract

This study showed a decrease in liver enzymes after receiving eradication regimen of H. pylori, suggesting a role for H. pylori infection in at least some of patients with mild unexplained hypertransaminasemia. Further studies are warranted to find the underlying mechanisms by which H. pylori infection affects the liver and clinical importance of such effects.
