Abstract
Hepatic ones are some of the most described somatic
complications in anorexia nervosa (AN) affected patients. They can
be due to malnutrition, which is the more usual thing, or due to
re-feeding. The first one can lead to more marked elevations of the
hepatic enzymes, especially alanine-aminotransferase (ALT). It’s
been also described the relation between a sharply decreased body
mass index (BMI) and this kind of complications, but there are still
to determine more predictors.
