Patient's question:
Subject Description:After the baby was one month old, it was found that the baby's face was very yellow. The bilirubin index was measured at 13.1, and the doctor recommended stopping breastfeeding. Four days later, the measurement was 8.7, and breastfeeding was continued. Around the 50th day, it was found that the baby's face was still yellow (the baby rarely had a bowel movement, often relying on enemas every three days to pass some stool). The bilirubin index was measured at 11.3, and the doctor recommended checking liver function. The results showed: total bilirubin 71.8, direct bilirubin 16.5, ALT 83.2, AST 65.3, alkaline phosphatase 232, HBSAG negative, and other indicators were normal. The father is a carrier.
Question: Why does the baby have abnormal liver function?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is recommended that you take your baby to see a doctor and use medication under the guidance of a physician. Do not give your baby medication privately to avoid causing allergies or discomfort. There are many factors that can lead to pediatric liver disease. If your child is diagnosed with pediatric liver disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
