Baby checked blood Alanine Aminotransferase index at two months, is it normal to be high?

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-ups haven't helped. 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. Elevated ALT levels indicate that your baby may have liver damage, although it could also be due to physiological factors or other causes. I don't know how much higher your baby's ALT levels are and what their current living conditions are. If it's convenient, I recommend clicking to consult with me for a detailed discussion to better analyze your baby's specific situation.
