Is it normal for a two-month-old baby to have a high ALT index in a blood test?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Is it normal for a two-month-old baby to have a high ALT index in their blood test?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is a common liver function test. High ALT levels indicate that your baby may have liver damage, although it could also be caused by physiological factors or other underlying conditions. I don't know how much higher your baby's ALT levels are, or what their current living conditions are like. If it's convenient, I recommend clicking to consult with me for a detailed discussion, so we can better analyze your baby's specific situation.
