TL;DR: The case of a girl affected by ulcerative colitis with high serum levels of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase due to the presence of macroenzymes is reported to suggest that the knowledge of this association may be helpful when evaluating patients with unexplained isolated elevation of one or more serum enzyme activities.

TL;DR: VEPs and EEG contribute to identify and monitor bilirubin neurotoxic effects, and may play a decisional role in some cases of severe hyperbilirubinemia without overt neurologic damage.
