摘　　要：Kawasaki disease(KD)is a critical pediatric vasculitis with potentially severe cardiovascular outcomes if left untreated.Alanine aminotransferase(ALT)levels,which primarily indicate hepatic injury,are frequently elevated in patients with KD,suggesting systemic inflammation and liver involvement.This editorial explores the multifaceted relationship between KD and ALT elevation,emphasizing the importance of monitoring ALT levels to gauge disease severity and tailor therapeutic interventions.The comprehensive evaluation and integration of ALT monitoring into routine clinical practice can improve patient outcomes by identifying high-risk patients early and guiding timely and appropriate management strategies.
