Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask if infant jaundice will definitely lead to high ALT.Doctor's answer:
Jaundice in infants can cause an increase in alanine aminotransferase (ALT). This condition is often seen in obstructive jaundice caused by biliary atresia, as well as jaundice caused by various types of hepatitis. Generally, breast milk jaundice does not lead to an increase in liver enzymes. If the child is affected by neonatal diseases, family members must take the child to a doctor for timely medical treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Symptomatic treatment should be administered promptly. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment for the disease.
