Patient's question:
My daughter started showing jaundice from the third day of her birth and it never subsided. Her little face was yellow. Moreover, she often catches colds and has a weak constitution. When she was in kindergarten, she vomited, and after a hospital examination, it was found that her liver was enlarged, which led to comprehensive tests. The results showed elevated total bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase. We visited three children's hospitals, where they recommended a liver biopsy. However, considering her condition, we decided not to proceed with it. Instead, at the traditional Chinese medicine department (liver disease) of the children's hospital, we were prescribed some herbal medicine. After taking three doses, when we returned to our city hospital for a check-up on July 9th, all the indicators were completely normal. We were very happy, andDoctor's answer:
Hello, alkaline phosphatase is mainly present in the liver and bones. Generally, during a child's growth and development period, the test results may be one to two times higher than normal, which is a normal phenomenon and there is no problem. Please rest assured. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to pay attention to the child's specific condition, and immune globulin tests can be conducted if necessary. Wishing you good health.
