PURPOSE: To elucidate the usefulness of abnormal liver function tests in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in patients presenting with ocular inflammation.
METHODS: Retrospective comparison of sample populations of 100 patients each with sarcoidosis-associated uveitis (SAU) and non-sarcoid uveitis controls.
RESULTS: Number of abnormal results between SAU and control groups were: (1) raised alkaline phosphatase 6:2; (2) raised alanine aminotransferase 21:19; (3) raised total protein 14:5; (4) hypoalbuminemia 0:7; (5) raised bilirubin 1:2. The only parameters reaching statistical significance were in (3), using any elevated result; and (4), the greater risk being in controls.
CONCLUSIONS: There is no evidence that abnormal liver function tests are an indicator of sarcoidosis in new patients presenting with uveitis.
